The Obsessive Underground of Sensory Athletes
When Bianca Bosker quit her tech reporter job to dive into the world of wine, friends worried she'd developed a drinking problem. What she'd actually discovered was a secret society of sensory athletes who lived for taste with religious devotion. These weren't stuffy wine snobs but masochistic hedonists who sacrificed normal lives in pursuit of flavor. They entered high-stakes competitions while pregnant, abandoned marriages for palate practice, and obsessively checked weather reports that might dull their noses. These sommeliers were mostly white-collar refugees with advanced degrees who'd abandoned conventional careers, enduring grueling hours and constant study in what one described as "some blood sport with corkscrews." While most of us experience wine as a pleasant buzz with dinner, these people received rich stories of winemakers, regional histories, and environmental conditions with every sip. Their world challenged centuries of anti-sensory bias - from Plato, who considered taste and smell "degenerate" senses, to Kant, who scorned them as "nothing but senses of organic sensation." Could cultivating these neglected senses help us live fuller, more perceptive lives?
