I realise it's off-topic (and I am somewhat cranky), but it's not the level of the explanation that is the problem - it's the way it seems to be addressed to a 7 year old ("He's smart!", "It's amazing").
As an adult, I personally would prefer if you explained something to me and let me be the judge of how smart and amazing everybody is.

I don't know anything about wine, and I really appreciate being told, "this is made my ____, they are super famous for ____". then I can judge if I like it or not, regardless of how famous/old it is. I also really like hearing other people's opinions and interacting with their excitement over "their thing" so ... to each their own I suppose.
