Palate sensitivity over time...

The Puck of the Loire Valley? [whistle.gif]

Except I seem to be very sensitive to brett. I’m always “ooh, there’s a slightest hint of brett here!” and nobody else notices a thing.

I’m equally excited when the wine is so bretty that even the least sensitive can pick it out as well.

Oh yeah, mousiness, VA and geosmin go to that list too. It’s always lottery whether VA is good or bad, but mousiness and geosmin are both meanies I don’t want to see in my wines.

Dishwasher detergent comment: I never put my stems in a DW; always wash by hand. Also, maybe going back to my old science lab days, I rinse 5x after seeing no more soap bubbles.
