JJ Buckley Fine Wines Blog

The marathon day is nearly coming to an end. Three hours from now we will be waking up to start our first day of 2006 tasting. But before I hit the sack, I want to give a little recap of how we got here.

The following is our preliminary schedule, so look for notes to come on the various wines each day. More specific details (especially on the wines we are tasting with the various negociants) to follow!

"With the continuing rise of Bordeaux prices, should I still be buying 2005 futures, will I be better off waiting until they are actually released, or should I skip this vintage all together?" -Dave G.

"Sounds great, but what is the UGC?" -Laura G.

"Who is the artist for the 2005 Mouton label?" -Mike C.
