thanks, jonb, guess it true that once you found the wines you like, one should compare vintages and not only focus on waht is "en vogue", thats the fun part. in europe, you get for example pontet canet 2006 for eur70 and 2009 for 200. both for sure great wines, but it would be a shame to o...

thanks, david, makes a lot of sense to me. besides the 2009 and 2010-vintages, i want to buy some good chateauxs like ducru, montrose and the leovilles of 2004, 2006 and 2008 - still affordable and should be very pleasant 10-15 years from now ! santé

hi, can you give me your views if you will acquire 2011-wines in subscription or not. i am not really bullish and willing to accept that such vintage is not the best and keep hands-off, at least for now. quality is for sure not exceptional like 2009/2010 (are wine critics today not too optimistic on...

wooow, must have been awsome !!!

... in line with your number 5, i have already tried "2011 has been a lousy bordeaux-year, i bought all those 2009 and 2010-bottles as an investment. i will sell them on ebay later on and then we go to disney with the kids." joke aside, i guess it may well be an option to sell wines on the...

thanks david, greatly appreciated. as i spent everything on wines, there is nothing left for jewelry, i will try to be a nice boy in the true meaning of the word, basically "non-demanding" ...., might work !!!

another question: do you recommend to subscribe to rp, js or jr ? not sure of its worth the money, its all for free on the internet. i work with valuable tools such as cellartracker and bordoverview - anything else you can recommend ? cheers/santé

david, in my hubble view a great choice, my next purchases will be: batailley 09 for eur40 les ormes de pez 09 for eur28 malescot 06 and 08 for eur40 i keep spending money for wine purchases evey day, simply too much interesting offers, its horrible, guess my wife will eventually start complaining ....

thanks for all your comments, which are highly appreciated. i live in brazil (veeeery expensive here !!), so i tastedmany new world wines of argentina and chile from various visits to the respective countries, very nice, what you get there for rather cheap money, those will be large part of my daily...

i know true wine-experts do not like parker, in my categories was much more referring to my own evaluation. it is clear that an all-day wine cannot be perfect and cost eur259,00, at least not in the case of my limited budget. but i hear what most of you are saying °make your own jdgement and do not ...

good morning to all of you. i want to structure my own cellar for the next at least twenty years (am currently 48) and was thinking at the following wines (just great vintages like 2009, 2010): -) all day (91p, own evaluation,not necessarily parker-points) - target price eur15 - cambon la pelouse, p...
