Just got the latest Premier Cru e-mail:
2005 Roumier Village Chambolle - $99.99
Now, some of this is Premier Cru, who used to be a good retailer for great wines at moderate prices (it's been a while since weekend special pricing meant anything), but - come on - what is going on here? I know this is a topic that has been beat to death, but I'm flabbergasted.
I've traded and sold a bunch of my wines over the past year to buy or get new wines, simply because I can't imagine the prices that some of these things are going for at the moment. I keep waiting for prices to hit the roof, but it aint happening.
1996 Salon for $225, 2003 Chave for $500+, 2005 Burgs...
I don't know about you guys, but I'm backfilling like crazy because the writing is on the wall for me.
