  • Daytime hours only — no regular nights, however occasional evening work for wine related events
  • A beautiful work setting in one of the Peninsula's most iconic venues
  • Continue to build relationships with some of the region's finest wines and producers
  • Being part of the leadership team
  • Open to and supportive of new creative ideas
