Hello Dan,


My brain seems to have shut down. I was thinking of MikeD from
http://www.webwinerack.com , how I got Dan the Man from that I'll never
know. Sorry about that.

Isn't it amazing how such an amazing organ as the brain can get it all
so wrong?

Anyhoooo, yeah that's pretty much the hallmark of the Jacob's Creek
range, simple. Most other things I've tried from that range have been
pretty awful.

Although the shiraz came alive with a spicy pasta dish when before that,
the very same glass had been approaching awful.

You might like to try the riesling in the Jacob's Creek, it is often
given high marks. Would be interesting if nothing else.

Also, don't confuse Jacob's Creek with Jacob's Creek Reserve, which
although the next label up, and about $13AU, versus about $8AU, are
consistently given good write-ups.


Mat.
