Sommelier
A wine Sommelier can help you a lot. Don't ever be afraid to ask questions! You know what you like to eat? They can help you "pair" wines that will best enhance your dining experience. It is truly worth it to ask!
If you are going into a wine/liquor/beer store, (if they have a large wine selection) most stores that stock wine will have a Sommelier on staff (if they stock any sort of wines worth a dang!). If you are cooking a dinner, ask them what you should "pair" the meal with. They are MORE than happy to help you. My best advice.....DO NOT BE OBNOXIOUS!!! They will help you out FAR beyond you're imagination!!! They will be your party planner for FREE!!! I know your mutha will looooove this advice for you!!! Trust me!
Take their advice and run with it! You will be a ROCK STAR!
