Paul Winalski wrote:At the Yakima Valley barrel tasting many years back, I encountered a winery employee who was one of those persons blessed (I can't really call it a curse, except perhaps in his job) with the total inability to sense TCA. He poured me a glass that was positively reeking of mouldy cardboard and stale water in a toilet. When I said, "Phew! This wine is badly corked," he said in perfect honesty that he didn't smell or taste anything wrong with it. I asked him to call over a co-worker, who took one sniff, let out an exclamation of disgust, took the bottle away, and replaced it with another one (perfectly OK), with profuse apologies to us.

Of course she realizes the difference when she tastes both samples alongside — the corked sample showing less fruit —, but she not able to identify a corked bottle right away.
