Priced out of the market - Bordeaux 2006

Their recommendation is well taken. I already did that for 2005 was to step down a rung from the stratosphere as the prices in last years futures were also breathtaking,

I know others will disagree but, given my Scots upbringing and probably untrained palate, I do not consider paying more than $50 for a bottle of wine in a store to be sensible for me. I have drunk some wines beyond that price but, while they were very good, the differences were not enough to change my mind. Let me also say that going up to $50 is a rare event for me! I will repeat that I am not talking about buying wine at restaurant mark-ups.
