The different wines

I am reading our local paper. Somebody is describing a German Riesling: "key-lime, Parma ham, wintergreen, ginger candy. The palate is taut, grippy, exciting." If I remember correctly, sex wasn't so much fun as this wine is supposed to be. I think I'll skip this one. Oh yeah, the description of the Austrian wine is even mushier: "wonderfully sorrely and nettle-y and spearminty." Who in the world would drink something that reminds them of nettles? We had nettle soup after the war. No thanks!
