Funny to see this episode after the same phenomenon happenned in 2009, if I can suggest something for people who are not crazy rich (this stuff is so overpriced) is to try to find a small producer in those areas that you like for the crazy vintages, you might not get the reputation of a huge chateau but you will get decent prices. Either if you go on a trip to those areas or if you go on blogs and forums and read some people’s opinions you can find little gems (ususallu these smaller producers sell most of their stuff to returning customers and so theirs prices do not skyrocket in great vintages).

I cant stand the fact that i cant afford to drink great quality Bordeaux anymore! Damn 2005 and 2009. I mean i have to sell a car to buy a first growth now! WTF!!!

The potential for making $ by simply buying the right wine blows my mind. But, like the stock market, you can make a wrong purchase decision and lose. I am very intrigued in investing in wine, when I get to that level!
