Full Job Description: Wine Director | Rootstalk Breckenridge

Location: Breckenridge, CO

Type: Full-Time, Hospitality Leadership

The Story of Rootstalk

Rootstalk is more than just a restaurant; it is a celebration of seasonal bounty and intentional hospitality in the heart of the Rockies. Our menus are a reflection of the landscape, and our wine program is the heartbeat of that experience. We have spent years building a well-established, world-class cellar, and we are now looking for a visionary Wine Director to steward this collection into its next chapter.

The Role

As the Wine Director, you aren't just managing a list—you are telling a story. You will be responsible for maintaining the excellence of our current French and American-heavy program while strategically expanding our offerings. We are seeking a curator with a deep-seated passion for small-scale producers, biodynamic farming, and low-intervention winemaking that aligns with our seasonally inspired, ingredient-driven culinary philosophy.
Why Join Us?

At Rootstalk, we value creativity, autonomy, and the well-being of our team. You will have the resources of an established program and the creative freedom to leave your mark on one of the most respected wine lists in Colorado. We believe in taking care of our people so they can take care of our guests.

Our Benefits Include:

Comprehensive Health Coverage: Eligible for Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance after a 90-day waiting period (Full-time only).
Retirement Planning: 401(k) plan with a company match available after 6 months of employment (Full-time only).
Dining Discounts: Enjoy generous employee discounts at Rootstalk and our sister restaurant, Radicato.
Yearly Wellness Bonus: Upon completion of one year of service, employees receive a wellness bonus equivalent to the cost of an Epic Local Pass ($783). This can be used for your ski pass or any other wellness pursuit you choose.

Key Responsibilities

Curation & Growth: Maintain and grow an extensive global wine list with a primary focus on French and American regions. Identify and source "hidden gems" from small, quality-obsessed producers.
Cellar Management: Oversee all inventory, ordering, and cellar organization. Ensure the list remains profitable while pushing boundaries in quality and variety.
Culinary Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with the Chef to create dynamic pairings that elevate our seasonal menus.
Education: Lead staff training sessions to demystify wine for our team, fostering a culture of knowledge and confidence on the floor.
Floor Presence: Be the face of the wine program. Engage with guests to provide personalized recommendations that are approachable yet sophisticated.
Sustainability Focus: Actively seek out wines that prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and minimal chemical interference.

The Ideal Candidate

The Expert: You have a profound understanding of global wine regions, specifically the nuances of Burgundy, Bordeaux, the Rhône, and the premier AVAs of the United States.
The Philosopher: You are an advocate for the "natural" movement but possess the discernment to prioritize quality and technical excellence above all else.
The Professional: You hold advanced certifications (CMS, WSET, or equivalent experience) and have a proven track record in high-volume, fine-dining environments.
The Mountain Resident: You thrive in a high-altitude, fast-paced resort environment and understand the unique demands of the Breckenridge community.

Qualifications

5+ years of experience in wine program management or as a Lead Sommelier.
Extensive experience with cellar management software and inventory control.
Exceptional communication skills—you can talk soil chemistry with a connoisseur and flavor profiles with a novice.
A "hands-on" leadership style with a willingness to assist the floor team during peak service.
