I assist customers with wine, liquor, beer, deli, basket, cigar & mixer selections for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, holidays or any other special occasion imaginable. The store has monthly in store wine & liquor tastings. We promote certain wines or liquors by opening a bottle to introduce the product to our customers. We give samples of the cheeses & meats in our deli. I do my very best to give the best possible customer service & to make the customer feel welcome, comfortable & happy. Show less

Aug 2001 - Dec 2002
I mostly sold wines from the cellar that had been neglected because of no wine knowledge by any of the other employees. There were so many "cherries" in this cellar. I also was required to make some of the sandwiches that were sold. I mostly sold wines from the cellar that had been neglected because of no wine knowledge by any of the other employees.

The restaurant had an extensive wine list of mostly French, which any bottle was allowed to be opened and poured by the glass. I learned extensively about French wines because I was able to taste a vast majority of the wines that I had opened for the customers.
