Somm-in-Residence
Our Resident "Sommelier" does more than just pick the wines. They steward community, build connections with other local wine professionals, and push their own skills.
Residency Structure
16-24 weeks of weekly tastings, with support to push the boundaries of a typical restaurant wine list. Including goal setting, partnership with local wine bars, and opportunities to bring in wine educators and makers from outside of North Carolina.
Growth & Development
Support for professional development looks different for everyone, whether that's space to practice storytelling skills, creative pairings, or the financial support to pursue continued wine education/studies. We want to see talent in Charlotte's wine community grow.
Community Stewardship
Loose Tannins is a social tasting group that recognizes that it's ultimately more rewarding to collect experiences than bottles. The SIR is responsible for fostering an open minded environment where people can develop their palates and connect to CLT on a deeper level.
