A good sommelier should know his guests' preferences in wine better than they know it themselves.

and telling us when he's unable to do so for contractural reasons

This! It's so refreshingly honest, and rare, that we get to be treated like adults who understand that, yes, in business sometimes contracts mean you can't talk about stuff. No beating around the bush.

it's not a glamorous job

I'm not sure but to me, sommeliers are absolutely one of the classiest/most glamorous jobs I can think of.

And in that time period, the FBI had issued something like 192,000 NSLs.

What the FUCK?! I was under the impression that NSLs, being the unconstitutional, opposite-to-the-rule-of-law, secret court/Star Chamber, -esque tools that they are, were at least only used sparingly and when necessary.

But they're literally handing them out like candy out of a white panel van. JFC.

Ok so I have a pile of smouldering notes on my driveway, what's next?
