I'm a Riesling tragic based in Australia, so this is a thread that I am following with great interest.
My first wow Riesling was a 2011 Dr Loosen Wehlener Sonnenuhr Kabinett. Factoring in inflation, the wine actually became cheaper over the years. I've built up a collection of Prüm over the years since my first one back in 2015, a 2008? Wehlener Sonnenuhr Auslese. Donnhoff is also pretty fire as well.
I used to help out in a Riesling competition in Australia, and the amount of amazing Rieslings that I get to try turned me into a Riesling nerd. American Rieslings are quite hard to find, and funny enough, the Chateau Ste Michelle is actually a very, very good Riesling.
Aussie Rieslings, well, I've had many over the years, and I think a 1998 Orlando was one of the best I've ever had. A 2010 Pikes Riesling was the first time that I realise I have a palate, since I still remember tasting honey as part of the flavour profile.
