re: Proof: All Wine Tastes the Same

of course not that is ridiculous that people claim to pick up all those flavors. when I taste wine and someone asks me to describe it I can come up with a couple three descriptive terms, but they are mostly just me associating the wine with certain flavors. it's very open to interpretation, based on the taster .. not a hard and fast rule where you should be able to determine everything that went into making the wine.

I'm the same way. for instance, I can usually taste if it's heavy or light on the wood flavor, but I can't tell you which oak tree the barrel came from.
