blanc -> blahn or blank?...

[tomstevenson]

If you don't speak French, don't worry about it. Even those who can and who work in the wine trade blunder (Mo-ay for Moet, for example, is a common error - in this case the t is hard). If you feel inimidated by a sommelier, call him smellier and ask whether he's been to Paris. When he answers, ask him whether he should not pronounce it "Paree" and whether he can pronounce Moscow in Russian, and who cares.
