'n Woord om te ken... "SOMMELIER"

In die woorde van Wikipedia:



A sommelier (pronounced suh-mal-'yAy), or wine steward, is a trained and knowledgeable wine professional, commonly working in
fine restaurants, who specializes in all facets of wine service. The role is more specialised and informed than that of a wine waiter.
Working along with the culinary team, they pair and suggest wines that will best complement each particular food menu item. It could be argued that the role of a sommelier in fine dining today is strategically on par with that of the executive chef or chef de cuisine. A professional sommelier also works on the floor of the restaurant and is in direct contact with restaurant patrons. The sommelier has a responsibility to work within the taste preference and budget parameters of the patron.
