I'm Trying But I Still Don't Get It!!

[Thomas]

Wine guru, I understand your statement. The point I make is exactly this: the novice would not understand the blanket statement, and then might go on thinking that all German Gewurztraminers are sweet without ever trying them.

Everyday I encounter at least one customer at the shop who has been walking around with bad pre-conceived notions. And everyday I learn how difficult it is to kill a pre-conceived notion. Think of how many decades Americans have blanketed German Rieslings by equating them with Blue Nun Liebfraumilch, which isn't even Riesling.
