Of course the alternative to making a sound that summons a sommelier is to yell "Shazam" which will transform you into a sommelier.

I thought you and your sister each have half a broken tastevin and you must put the two pieces together when you shout the keyword?

That's Shazzan. But last time I tried that I turned into a flying camel. Made me so mad I could just spit*.

Okay, I've had French (long ago in college) so I know a little bit about the language, including pronunciations...usually!

However, I've never been confident as to how to pronounce "sommelier". Apparently other folks have some doubts also as here are three different renditions which I have run across...

So-mel-YAY

What do the experts here say is the proper pronunciation?

Thanks!

As a french person:
I have different ways to pronunce it:
" whereistheguywhodrinkscocktailaftertheshiftandbeersonweekends"
"whereistheguywhodrinkslessthanme"
"whereisthehighschooldropout"
I have many other ways pronunce it....SORRY AGAIN WIZZ ZE FRENCH HUMOR (it can be hard to follow sometimes).

Cheers.....Happy Holidays to all of you.

I know what you mean. It's like "where is the guy whose shop is not open and who has no idea what he is talking about."

When you work 20 hour days please feel free to comment, otherwise, please let be be. Merci.

Obviously humor is not welcome in all cases.
I just work 16 hours a day ( 7 days a week) and yes I don t know what I am talking about--- I am too busy to drink so I have no time for reflexion on wine.
Sorry for being french----HOW TO PRONOUNCE "FRENCH"
"jackass"
"didIpissedyouoff"
"Idontknowjackshit"
"doyouhaveadaughter" and many other ways to pronounce.
I HAVE MUCH RESPECT for sommelier considering all the work and knowledge it represent.(and all the bordeaux they need to drink).
But as a french person I "cun't" help myself. I need to be arrogant and stupid in order to represent my cultural heritage.
I LOVE YOU Mr DALTON. But as Lucky Luke (do you know the cartoon character?) I will chase you down until you are behind bars.
I guess I owe you couple glasses of wine....it is easier than apologies(anyhow french people can t show signs of remorse in public ).
I hope we will see you soon at BS&WINE SHOP.

It's o.k. I saw the relevant Bond film as the heroine recovered the briefcase from the [false] preacher. Bless your heart indeed.

I just love the title of this thread. Makes me think of all the throat-clearings or verbal circumlocutions or yawps or whatnot that might spring forth from a sommelier's lips.

And from my diner-centric perspective, I thought of sounds one might make to attract a sommmelier and what consequences they might have.

I was sure it had to do with the amount of pop generated when the cork is pulled. I've come to expect that sort of thing here. So has Yixin, I am sure.
