A Wine Critic Wonders: 'Am I a Supertaster?'

Prompted by a debate over "supertaster" oenophiles last summer, wine critic Mike Steinberger sticks out his tongue and says argghhh:

As a result, when Wysocki gave me my PROP test, I was actually quite pleased when I felt that nauseating wave of bitterness wash across my tongue. It seemed to indicate that I too might be a supertaster, which sounded like a nice credential for a wine writer. But extreme PROP sensitivity is just one part of the supertaster equation, and I was curious to find out how I measured up in the fungiform papillae department.
