While I'm familiar with the study you mention ... and there is some truth to an educated taste looking for different things in a wine than someone less experienced ... one also has to remember that we all taste differently and we all have our preferences and there is nothing wrong with that. One should drink what one enjoys. Sure, it is good to experiment, if only because one might find something new that one likes! After all, with over 22,000 unique grape varieties in the world, there is a lot that all of us have never tasted!

I think the best thing to do to explore is to form a tasting group and do some systematic tastings. It is OK to have "everybody bring a Cab" events, but we found that the most interesting tastings were ones that were much tighter ... a vertical from a particular maker, Pinot from Oregon in a particular year, Zin from a particular appellation and year, etc. Then you see just how much variation there is even in a fairly tight category and really appreciate that the thing one wants to find is the right maker.
