Does anyone have any idea what the release prices will be for these babies? I am attempting to discern what would be a reasonable offer to give my local wine shop (who should be receiving an allocation) prior to formal release. Thanks for your help.
RC?
LT?

RSV?
GE?

Pay whatever they ask for, there will be no shortage of buyers....Consider yourself lucky if you were being offer.

These are the prices, cut and pasted from the Utah state wine store web page. They were all recently raised, last week, after inventory was taken. These wines have not yet arrived, and the official state law is that only one bottle of any DRC is allowed per house hold. So you can buy one bottle of La Tache or whatever, but not one bottle of each La Tache, Richbourge, Eschezeaux, Grande Exchezeaux...


750 DRC ECHEZEAUX'05 750 ml 392.85
750 DRC LA TACHE'05 750 ml 1,116.39
750 DRC ROMANEE-CONTI'05 750 ml 3,697
750 DRC ROMANEE-ST-VIVANT'04/05 750ml 976.89


I don't know what happened to Richebourg and Grande Echezeaux, everything is subject to change and no orders or reservations can be made for the highly allocated wines. If you are interested in the site, the link is:

They don't ship out, or in, wouldn't be proper. There are pluses and minuses to a state run store, you will get the wine you want, but not a lot of it. You won't often get a bargain, but you won't often get gauged. It is very much a capitalistic socialism. If you have the money, you can get it, but only one. If you have more money to spend, it doesn't matter, because you still get just one.

And in case you are considering the drive, the 12 bottles of 750 PONSOT CLOS DE LA ROCHE VV'05 750ml at $330.28 a bottle sold out the day they arrived. Lucky bastard, no allocation for whatever reason. One guy got all of them. Bastard!

You can tell they spent a lot of money on web development!

It took me forever to figure out how to use that web site. If you try to navigate from the home page rather than from the link I provided, it makes absolutely no sense at all.

Not sure yet, I haven't recieved my allocation and I don't know what I will be getting.

This is just the info I was looking for. Thanks for your help!

Estimated prices in Ontario:
Echezeaux 352
Grands-Echezeaux 577
Romanee-St-Vivant 902
Richebourg 885
La Tache 1001
Romanee-Conti 3223
Montrachet 2145

...well, at that price do you now if there is chance to sell and ship bottles to Italy?

I'm pretty sure they have been allocated!
