I'm also in complete agreement with your thoughts about higher numerical ratings being given to higher pradikats only.

Once again when helping out at the local wine store last weekend, I was trying to explain "kabinett" to some buyers. Their overall impression after my 5 mins chat was that the wines are still too sweet but they would consider a "trocken" when next in town. That is what we are up against.
I should add they were familiar with BC rieslings but not Alsace. They choose a Trimbach Reserve Riesling on my prompting/bs-ing to try one from that area!

I always enjoy David Schildknecht's writing, especially when I don't need a thesaurus to understand what he is saying.
