The temperature YOU like."Geoffery" the Sommelier doesn't know what temp works best for you. Taste is subjective. If you dig it make your whites a damn slurpee. If you dig it mull all your reds. Take the pretension out of wine and enjoy it.

I hear ya.
We tried a Spanish and a French red last night. The Spanish was a Garnacha. The French I don't know. Neither were full bodied.
They were served at probably around 75 degrees. I didn't like the temp at all. I wouldn't "complain" but I might have asked about it if I knew more. (Maybe not, chefs, bartenders, and restaurants in general are so defensive, you can't ask a question with them thinking you are challenging them).
Either way, 75 seems too warm, and I would have thought a place that has a big list and is a supposed foodie place would be a bit more in line with what is standard in the industry.

Yes, let's encourage novices to drink wine at improper temperatures so that they're really wasting their money. Why not heat up some white wine on the stove? Or drink a bottle of burgundy at 40 degrees? After all, there is not "correct way" to drink wine right it's completely up to consumer's discretion.

This. I don't like red wine at room temp. Anywhere around 50 degrees is fine.
