I think that a wine snob would be someone who trys to make the house believe that he knows more than the sommelier. I would ask for recommendations both on the dinner and the wine and/or other libations. That's what they are there for. They will always give you good advice. You may want to inquire about the price on that special bottle, however. They don't always volunteer that info. Or, give them a price range.
