Jacob's Creek Reserve Riesling 2010

So often wine connoisseurs bag the big boys for not producing wines of interest.  I am going to say that I would rather drink a wine of this quality at this price than a small producers attempt to produce a wine of interest.  What Jacobs Creek has done here is draw together components that fit together well and increase the interest factor while maintaining a ridiculous price point. What does the word interest mean in a wine context anyway.  Wikipedia states that "Excite the curiosity or attention of someone" which may mean that at the $10 price tag the word drinkable is in the forefront of my mind.  Actually at any price tag I want drinkable to be at the front of my attention.
