Well you just know everything don't you?

Having said that Business Week has added a column by Robert Parker, and this week he reviewed some reislings

"Rolf Binder Wines 2005 Riesling Highness
91 points. From one of Australia's finest winemakers, this blend of 85% Eden Valley and 15% Barossa fruit reveals gorgeous pithy green apple and pear-like notes with hints of citrus oil and crushed rocks. Fragrant and chalky, with a distinctive terroir element. This wine stands out brilliantly for its precision, richness, complexity, and ageworthiness. $14"

"D'Arenberg 2005 The Dry Dam Riesling
87 points. Lime, lemon custard, and a hint of kiwi aromas jump from the glass of this riesling. Well-made, medium-bodied, and pleasant. $16"


HTH!
