Fortuitously, the same day of our post “What Sweet Means at Big Creek”, Don Kavanagh posted “The World’s Best Rieslings” according to Wine Searcher (see below). With the exception of the dryi-sh smaragd from F. X. Pichler, the rest all carry the designation Trockenbeerenauslese, translating to over 30% residual sugar!
I guess you could turn up your nose and pass on a taste.
