I tried Annie's Lane '03 dry riesling a few weeks ago and went back for more. It was $19 at LCBO. I also picked up one Penfold's Riesling Reserve at $25.

Both are Clare Valley, from a dry year limited in quantity.

The Penfold wine is bland, almost watery by comparison. It does not have the intensity and length suggested on the label. But Annie's Lane does. Annie's reminds me of the single vineyard Henschke rieslings, which come my way all too seldom. I expected more of the Penfold's, but it is still a well made accompaniment to chicken or fish. If I was blindfolded, I probably would not distinguish it from a $15 Alsatian.
