We generally don't realize this, but about 60% of "taste" is actually "smell". If you have had sinus infections or blockages, you can have a severely decreased ability to taste things - because you can't SMELL them.
You can talk to your doctor about sinus problems, but one simple alternative is sinus lavage, or "rinsing". There are a number of "nasal pumps" that pump salt water up one nostril and allow it to drain through the other nostril. (This requires a rather strange posture, head-down in the sink to allow the water to wash through.) Or you can look at "neti pots" for sinus drainage. (See attached link.)
