Connoisseur Products & Services
"A connoisseur: A specialist who knows everything about something and nothing about anything else." - Ambrose Bierce.
"A connoisseur of gastronomy was congratulated on his appointment as a director of indirect contributions at Perigues: and, above all, in the pleasure there would be in living in the midst of good cheer, in the country of truffles, partridges, gruffled turkeys, and so forth. 'Alas!' replied with a sigh the sad gastronomer, 'can one really live at all in a country where there is no fresh sea-fish?'" - Jean-Antheleme Brillat-Savarin.
