Hey guys,

I get an email from a friend who owns several wine outlets and he sent me the final offerings of his '09 Pre Arrival Bordeauxs scheduled to arrive in 2012. Any thoughts on these prices and the regions themselves, Never purchased futures before and am seriously in the St. Emillion and Margaux. Prices are per bottle. I'm looking to pick up 24-36 bottles.

initial reviews seem to indicate that this could be the BEST vintage in a long time, and is prices conservatively compared to recent years.

check out these two WSJ articles:
http://blogs.wsj.com/wine/2010/04/29...WORDS=bordeaux

http://blogs.wsj.com/wine/2010/05/10...WORDS=bordeaux

there was actually a better article on WSJ but I couldn't find it...

outside of that, I can't offer much insight but can say a few bottles does sound like a good idea...

I hears too that this vintage would be special as they indicated with 2005. I have some from that year but haven't opened them. i think I'll go ahead and grab a few of the lower priced ones on this list.

I don't think you can go wrong with that decision. I've thought about looking for a few bottles myself. Just my $0.01... instead of $0.02 because I don't know much about wine...
