You're thinking of a Sommelier. The person at (usually) restaurants who assists you with selecting wine.

Edit- told you I was a wine geek.

Better definition from Epicurious.com

sommelier

[saw-muh-LYAY]

The French term for a steward or waiter in charge of wine. For hundreds of years, sommeliers were responsible for the cellaring and serving of wines for royalty. Eventually, the tradition of the sommelier spread to restaurants, where such an individual is expected to have extensive knowledge of wines and their suitability with various dishes.
