Budometer

Hey! I'm back! I know it's been a while since I've had some things of the day. But I was on vacation for about a month. I kind of wish I still was, but hey, you've got to return to reality eventually.

So, this morning I was catching up on old newspapers sitting on my kitchen table, and I came across this really interesting article in the Chron about how your taste buds influence the kind of wine you'll like. I've always thought it is way too subjective of a matter to have some snooty experts telling you what's supposed to be good. Apparently, this guy, Tim Hanni, agrees, and he's developed a way to count your taste buds and determine whether you're a supertaster, sensitive, or tolerant, and if you have a sweet tooth, that changes it too. Check out his website, Budometer, that explains more, and you can also take his quick test online to see what kind of taster you are. I'm apparently into sweet. I could have told you that anyway, but good to know its validated. :)

Cheers!
