Dear Mr. Smith:

As a restaurant manager with more than ten years of well-rounded experience managing restaurant operations, I am seeking to transition my career to a position as a Sommelier. For your review, I have attached my resume as the first step in the application process.

In my current position as restaurant manager / catering manager with Shae Restaurant, I manage all aspects of this busy restaurant's operations. Through leadership of a large full-service staff, I am able to run a tight ship, build customer relationships, and coordinate FOH and BOH responsibilities with a high degree of efficiency.

What I enjoy most is managing the restaurant's wine program. Although Shea's does not officially have a sommelier, I have used my knowledge of wines to build a diverse inventory of domestic and international wines. My passion for wines and ability to educate customers about wine selections have resulted in enhanced business image and increased sales revenues.

As a recently licensed sommelier, my experience as wine consultant and beverage director for the newly opened Bella Lounge at Bravo Nightclub was a huge success. This was an exciting opportunity for me to use my creative talents to develop the club's wine and wine-martini menu.
