Overview

Operating out of a high class winery located in Downtown, The Sommelier is an expert on all things related to wine vintages... and firearms. Preferring to cater to 'higher tier runners', he is well connected and supplied via a number of underworld contacts and, as a general rule, will not meet with runners below a High Class lifestyle, though he may be convinced to do so (with a modicum of metaphorically holding his nose) in exchange for services, chips, or rare wines.

He is unfailingly polite and expects the same of anyone stepping into his shop; failure to meet the 'dress code' for a wine tasting will get one asked politely, yet firmly, to leave.

Aspects Description

Aspect	Description
High Class Clientele	The Sommelier has a very specific way he conducts business and a limited clientele list. A smart runner will behave accordingly. Any interaction with him or gear acquisition request requires an Etiquette Test (2) to conduct business; however, if a runner has a lifestyle that is below High, the etiquette test to work with him has a threshold of 4. If an Etiquette roll fails, a player must pay to make amends by paying an additional 10% of the amount that was otherwise being bought as a 'service fee'. If they have a critical glitch, they can only redeem themselves with the contact by spending a chip. Until the runner has made proper amends, The Sommelier will refuse to do business with them - though he can be potentially swayed should they arrive with a rare enough vintage in hand in an emergency case.
