In short, a sommelier (or somm as they’re often called) is a highly knowledgeable wine professional who is an expert in every aspect of wine service and food and wine pairing. Sommeliers know which wines a restaurant has both on and off the wine list, and can help you find the right wine for your meal or occasion.
