buying rated wines

Best Buys usually go fast Try big distributors such as costco,bev mo, sam's club.Or do a search on wine searcher.com or wineaccess.com.

Have you checked out the "Wine Retailers" section of this webiste? It lists stores for most places in North America and they usually have decent selections.

I usually find that KLwines.com has a good selection of wines that get good ratings. They currently have a number of 2000 bordeauxs in stock that made the top 100 list of 2003. They seem to have prices that go up as the ratings come out, but in general are pretty competitive. Just be careful when you buy that a delivery isn't made when it is real cold out and it freezes on your doorstep!

DirtySouth,

You'll just have to pay that small amount of retainer fee to find out.
