Sommelier

A trained wine expert in a restaurant — a specialist who matches the bottle to the table.

A sommelier in a dream is the dream's image of a specialist whose work is matching a particular bottle to a particular table. The sommelier does not impose; the sommelier reads the meal and the company and proposes. The dream brings the sommelier when something in your life — a curated introduction, a thoughtful pairing of person with opportunity, a deliberate match of resource with need — is being done by a specialist whose value is in the fineness of the fit. A sommelier whose suggestion is exactly right is the dream affirming the expertise. A sommelier overruled by a diner who insisted on the wrong bottle is the dream noting that the expertise was available and was passed over, and the meal will carry the mismatch.
