For example: if we ate a pineapple in the afternoon, it is more likely that we notice pineapple aromas in the white wine that we drink that night. Our nose will have an "aha" moment.
Last week I tasted several carmenere wines. The day after I drank a Portuguese wine and I could swear it was Chilean wine/new world wine, even though I had the bottle in my hands and saw the label. I even wondered if somebody tricked me and put another label on the wine.
Now, I have found some information about this experience. I searched: Olfactory acuity after repeated exposure.

More interesting, here is a guy that is using this wisdom for wine taste training:

The contrary would be called Olfactory Fatique
When you taste the same thing again and again, you will loose sensitivity.

But I have not found information about how to tell if a wine is from Chile...in a blind tasting I mean.
Fortunately I did find other interesting articles about wine.
Nice tips how to learn to distinguish grapes.
