PeppyGPhiB even brought up the point values of the wines produced in her state. These are examples of average people who aren't completely ignorant about wine. This proves that your statement was GENERAL! Maybe you just haven't had the right customers who know what they like, study wine, and order bottles based on that. That is why I said you have limited experience. In MY EXPERIENCE, there are a large number of people who subscribe to Wine Spectator, study the prices of wines, know what's a good deal when they go to a restaurant, order the appropriate bottle for what they plan to eat, ask the sommelier if they need some help and experiment with new wineries to expand their horizons. They are not the majority of people out there so I won't generalize and claim they are.
PS. Once you get out of college, you realize that your experience is ALWAYS limited. My experience is limited. That's why I continue to travel, eat at fine restaurants, drink wine when I can, study medicine, etc. If we knew everything, we could just hang it up and die.

I'm not saying that everyone orders or buys wine this way, and I'll say it again. Ive waited on many who know what they like, who are even more knowledgeable than myself. I'm not saying I know it all. I simply made a "broad and general statement" according to an experience IVE had. My parents subscribe to Wine Spectator, We've been to Napa, they have a cellar in their house. I'm not saying they buy according to name. I'm not the one with comprehension problems dear. You interpreted my statement as general, I interpreted your statement as misinformed on my circumstance.
