People need to understand that these are "discussions", not MMA.

"We have a good friend who recently got into wine. In fact, so new, he honestly still thinks all red wine tastes the same regardless of the varietal, producer, terroir, year, climate, winemaker, etc... "

I used to run winetastings. I used to have an extensive cellar of quality Bordeaux and Burgundy and have tasted some of the greatest wines, including DRCs back to'49.
Unfortunately I had a severe dose of Covid last year and lost my sense of smell.,
now all wine does largely taste the same to me.

Sorry to hear that @laoman , that sucks. They called it covid 19 and 6 years later it is still around. We know someone who got long covid and she was unable to work, luckily she had good benefits from the employer and the family was not destitute. 

Hopefully for audiophiles there isn't a new virus in the future which attacks people's sense of hearing the same way covid can attack sense of taste and smell. And hopefully those senses become restored for you.
