re: Proof: All Wine Tastes the Same

And secondly I've seen some of the judges at a lot of these events. There is a spread of people that do this. News anchors, local celebrities, some industry professionals/peers, and a few people who are truly sommeliers. I judged a couple times and realized my palate couldn't be further from the rest; however, my job is to find the perfect wine for the person requiring my assistance, not tell them which I think is the best of my list. I recommend based on the consumer in the end although my wine list is a representation of myself at the same time. Some restaurants buy upon the whole ratings system, and some buy upon relationships built and wines tasted.

these judges weren't scrubs though.

I'm not trying to be a dick, I just want to hear your thoughts on it since it's your field of education/work.

These judges are not amateurs either. They read like a who's who of the American wine industry from winemakers, sommeliers, critics and buyers to wine consultants and academics.
