A person with refined taste, especially in food and wine; a gourmet or connoisseur.
From German, literally 'fine-smearer' or 'fine-taster' (from fein 'fine' + Schmecker 'one who tastes'). This term entered English from German culinary vocabulary.
Feinschmecker is German food culture's way of describing someone who's basically a food snob—but in the good way, like someone who can taste the difference between good chocolate and great chocolate!
