Couldn't agree more. You only have to look at any wine list to see what sells. Crowd pleaser, especially as a "stand alone" without food, is quite a different thing to pairing up a wine of structure with a meal.
Makes it fun! I find it sad that folks stick to 3 or 4 favourites, instead of trying what the world has to offer.
