Gracious sakes there SB if that be brief I'd hate to read your thesis. I agree with much of what you say, but cellaring good,fine, great wines to allow them to improve and reach their potential makes for added pleasure. Saying that yopu are doing the vineyard owners work for him is shoprt-sighted. Buying wines on futures allows you to get the product you want, save money on the eventual release price, and realize the appreciation after maturity. Buying 82 1st growths at 39 a bottle and seeing them sell above 500 10 years later doesn't seem like too bad a deal. Paying 200 per for the 2000
1sts and seeing them priced above 400 already doesn't strike me as the owners using our money and us doing their cellaring for them. I like good bottles with some whiskers, good bottles that need drinking by Tuesday, or for that matter, good wines of all descriptions as long as they're red. Just my .02 coppers. WW
