I saw one comment today that (deservedly so) was upvoted to +14 in a couple of hours.

Is there a way to find all the "good" - meaning highest-upvoted - comments on the entire site?

I'd strongly prefer an answer NOT involving mining the data dump; though of course if it's impossible in a regular web interface, the data dump quuery to do this would also be very appreciated.

You'll have to use the Data Explorer. You can the Comment Score there, and do a sort on that value. Link from the Comment's PostID to the question or answer that it's a comment of, and you're all set.

This is the current highest-voted comment (barely!). Here's my query.

And here's DavRob60's better query that directly links to the posts.

@DavRob60 Nice. I whipped up mine in a few minutes, and didn't see the way to link to actual URLs. – Keen♦ Aug 9 '12 at 18:32
