This is correct. Kabinet type wines vary considerably from dry to semidry but
cannot be defined accurately as 'sweet' as sweet. Auslese is considerably
sweeter. And, as you pinned out, the berentrachens are sweeter still.
Unfortunately, Americans have for the most part been 'educated' into thinking
bitter and dry are the ideals in wine flavors so most of the excellent sweet
wines are hard to find in the US unless you live in a wine making region.
