On the other hand, I've always liked "concierge," especially when someone - like my declasse ex-junkie sister - had occasion to attend a swank party at a fancy hotel and, wondering which ballroom to find said soiree, said, "Let's ask the Connoisseur."

That, would be pretentious. A sommelier is an accepted title, reflecting accepted skills-not something a hipster (or, "consultant") came up with (at least not in the past couple centuries)to impress the yokels from the burbs.<br /><br />I get irritated with "domestic engineer" (homemaker) "professional educator" (teacher), "wealth manager" (accountant), and far too many others to start listing. <br /><br />Nice to hear from you though! Hope you're all doing well. <br />Goodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383404429461423998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-5249473498642510482012-11-28T13:07:46.977-08:002012-11-28T13:07:46.977-08:00My little brother is a Sommelier - now that's ...My little brother is a Sommelier - now that's a title with the potential for ALL SORTS of pretentious Douchebaggery, isn't it?Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01592312983008232386noreply@blogger.com
