Matching Palates

[Ward]

In our chat a month ago, one of the comment threads dealt with the
idea that recommendations from someone with a similar palate might
have a greater effect on our decision to try a new wine than would
general recommendation.

This idea/concept is very interesting to me because it seems that if
we can find a way to "calibrate" or "map" our palates, we could build
a better collaborative filter system.

Any ideas on how we might construct a "profile" of our palates?
