i've been doing that for a while, but i'm not sure if it's a thing or just me overthinking it lol

when i pour a glass i usually take a big sip, let it sit, then do a second sip to see if the flavor changes

is that normal or am i just messing around with my own palate rn

ngl so i was just down at the crag, pulling on a slab at 8000ft and then popped open a bottle of pinot that i saved for the descent lol the altitude kinda turned my tongue into a desert, all the fruit flavors felt muted like a foggy morning on a cliff face i swear the tannins hit harder too, like a sudden gust on a ledge i guess lower oxygen pressure messes with your olfactory receptors? anyone else notice their palate going all weird after a high‑altitude climb tbh i’m curious if this is just a temporary thing or if repeated climbs can actually train your taste buds to be more sensitive to subtle notes like a climber’s grip adapting to micro‑edges
