So, how are these labeled? As "Eiswein", "Ice Wine" or something else? 
I'm probably going to have to go to a specialty wine store or at least 
somewhere other than my grocery to find these, and the sales staff 
there would probably know what I was asking for, but it would be nice 
to know more specifically what to ask for. At least now I know the 
sub-categories, although I don't know which is better. But the late 
harvest ones are probably sweeter, unless like mead, the length of time 
the must is brewed will make as much of a difference as how sweet it 
starts out.
