I wandered about the Food and Wine section of Costco.com and was incredulous to find that they are selling 2005 Bordeaux futures~!
I managed to find (although I certainly can't afford to order) Cheval Blanc for the low, low bargain price of $724.99 per bottle (a bit of sarcasm). Retail cases of Cheval Blanc for the 2003 vintage went for between $3600 and $4600, so this price point may be a bit...shall we say...excessive? On the other hand, the Cheval Blanc is certainly a candidate for wine of the year, at least according to some of the tasters that had it in the barrel. And 2005 was an excellent, excellent year for Bordeaux. Read more about Bordeaux future pricing and tasting notes here!
