re: Proof: All Wine Tastes the Same

I can certainly tell you though that I've had a large range of wines that had different flavors / i.e. - that don't all taste the same. by any stretch of the imagination.

would you be able to give reviews like this?

It defines its own space. There’s plenty of new oak, but the fruit, acid and tannins stand up to it. This is sharp and tangy; cranberry and raspberry, strawberry and citric acids all playing their part.

Bouquet of medium red fruit, toast, plum and tobacco. Black fruit, spice, pepper and coffee flavors. Smooth finish with easy tannins and a cool streak through it. Not a dense wine, but a flavorful and good one.

Lush and delicious, this richly fruited wine roars from glass with a serious, yet still sexy plum, chocolate, spice and cedar nose. Plush tannins and an even mouthfeel full cherry, plum and cocoa flavors, and this impressive first release finishes long and dry.

it's all bullshite. they use fancy rhetoric and just regurgitate what the winemaker tells them went into the process of making, aging, and bottling the wine. when a winemaker tells you how it was aged, your mind is going to trick itself into believing you tasted each individual flavor whether you did or not. looks like in a blind taste test, they couldn't come up with some fancy description for the wine. hell, they couldn't even realize they were drinking one wine at one point.
