superior is delicious, simple and fun. perfect with spicy fried chicken...

as to the others, the ausleses were about as perfect as you can get. especially the herrenberg. i can't think of a more balanced wine; so much sugar but weightless. the auslese 149 (from barrel #149, a special selection) will be world class in 25 years... and the eiswines...

my bad, the abtsberg was my favorite auslese.
 
No, they're riesling. Dryish but they have a bit more r.s. than most of their trockens, and I think I remember Claude (or someone) saying it was von Schubert's attempt to make wines that could compete with the growing GG/EL movement elsewhere. But from my limited experience they're not really competing with the best of those.

If you read German, here's the promotional spiel:

The Superior is a Riesling that is allowed to ferment as long as it will go on spontaneous fermentation, which leaves a little rs in some vintages. Such laissez-faire fermentation is one of the new trendy things in German wine (in fact, at Friedrich Becker, Fritz Becker calls his wine made in this fashion "Laissez-Faire.")

thanks.

somewhat related, I recall thinking on the last couple of visits, that Herrenberg was particualrly well suited to the feinherb style.

Right, it's almost as amusing as Google transcriptions of voicemails.

Translation as abstract art.

I worked in a translation group for a while once, and we used to read Japanese-English translations of technical instructions aloud to each other, when things were slow. Really passed the time.

I was told that often the Japanese choose English words for t-shirts based solely on how they sound or feel in the mouth. The meaning is not important.
 
Well, we sometimes wear things with Chinese characters on them because they look cool. Who knows what they say?

I once saw a very proper young Thai lady in a nice section of Bangkok wearing a t-shirt with stylish English writing on it forming a sentence you would only hear spoken at an extremely drunken bachelor party.

I think nowadays you can see a lot of proper young American ladies wearing t-shirts with stylish English writing on it forming a sentence you would only hear spoken at an extremely drunken bachelor party.
