Howdy Folks,
I'm looking for advice on the best way to plan for the 06 BDX releases. I'm working my way up the foodchain a bit, and wish to sock away a case or two of wines that are of a higher pedigree than what I normally buy. I haven't been purchasing BDX for long and so I don't know what to expect in a so-called non-futures year.

I'm looking at several in the $50-70 range (Leoville-Barton, Pontet Canet, Lynch-Bages, La Croix St. Georges), and while these are available from futures dealers I'm having trouble deciding if it is better to buy in now or wait until next year when they are on the shelves.

Do prices always go up on release?

Are there any that might sell out before then?

TIA for advice or insights on how you deal with the situation each year brings.

Thanks,
Mike

In general prices always go up, but depending on several things (scores, availability, when you buy). Doubtful that many wines from 2006 will sell out, so it just depends on how confident you are in finding these wines in your market after they are released. I'm still on the fence about buying my last 2006 futures but feel somewhat confident that if I don't it won't be a problem. Leoville-Barton is one of the few I would suggest buying now rather than later. IMO
