In Wisconsin and Minnesota I have eaten none better than Sparkle.  I also
grow Earl, and find that while quite good, it doesn't match Sparkle.

Although I haven't had one for a while, I remember Kent strawberries as
being the most flavorful out of a farmer's field that included Honeoye and
Annapolis.  Kent doesn't match sparkle by a long shot, but would be worth
trying.
