Balderdash and humbug!

I've tasted more-than-a-few wines from the Alsace region, two
German spatleses, and two Australian chardonnays that could pucker
a lemon! "Sweet" just isn't part of those wineries' vocabulary.

ObExample: Karthauserhof spatlese is characterized as "firm on the
palate. A bold slap of leather with flowery finish." I don't mind
these characteristics in a whisky but they're misplaced in wine.
