Perhaps there may be something to your points, T. However, knowing many parts of the U.S. from several decades of travel, and dining, in all of our fifty states, I made some assumptions that perhaps you might not have made unless you live here and have travelled (and dined) here extensively. I've been to Boulder (that's in Colorado) several times and I've never found it to be in the forefront of Italian cuisine (forgive me if I've offended you, matteson). Also, while Boulder does have some decent wine choices, it's not one of the premier markets where many more diverse wines are available. So, with all that in the back of my mind, I formulated my answer knowing from experience that the chances of a wine labelled Classico in a restaurant in Boulder, Colorado which restaurant, it appears, doesn't properly train its waitstaff in the intricacies of its wine list would most likely be serving a Chianti Classico, and in fact the wine is probably a Chianti Classico Riserva. If it makes you feel any better, I know absolutely nothing about the wine selections in the restaurants of Essex, England.

Oh, by the way, we say period, not full stop or full point, though I suppose there may be some who have immigrated here from your country for a better life who may still have retained some of their old linguistic idiosyncracies.
