Dear Mr. Alaimo,

I saw your online post on the Monster website seeking a qualified Wine Spectator. I have the experience and background that you are looking for in this specialized field. I am sending you my resume so that you can see I am an exceptional fit for this position.

I am more than knowledgeable about wines. I am passionate about them.

A number of companies have commissioned me to travel for the purpose of sampling region grapes or to witness the professionalism and competence of a vineyard’s process. For the last four years I have operated as a Wine Spectator for the chain of Germaine restaurants ensuring their menu always has the finest grapes. I have also worked on commission for a number of private clients looking to authenticate their finds before making a significant investment. I have worked with some of the most regarded aficionados in this industry creating a network of unparalleled resources in spirits.

I am sure once you review my resume you will see why I submitted it. I am the perfect fit for your Wine Spectator. I hope to hear from you soon.

Sample 5:

“Dear hiring manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the Wine Consultant position that you have posted. I believe that my extensive wine knowledge, coupled with my experience as a sommelier and wine educator, make me an ideal candidate for this position.

I have been working in the wine industry for over 10 years. My first job was at a small family-owned restaurant where I learned the ins and outs of the business from the ground up. I worked as a server, bartender and eventually became the manager. During my time there, I developed a passion for wine and began educating myself on all things vino. I took classes through the Court of Master Sommeliers and eventually became a Certified Sommelier.

After leaving that position, I went on to work at a high-end restaurant where I was able to further develop my skills as a sommelier and wine educator. I also gained valuable experience working with some of the most demanding customers in the city.

I am confident that my extensive wine knowledge, combined with my experience as a sommelier and wine educator, will allow me to be an asset to your company. I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you in person to discuss how my skills can benefit your organization.”
