In some places (such as Ontario), you can still order Bordeaux futures
for the fantastic 2005 vintage. I'm always on the look out for the
exceptional values, especially from out of the way but up-and-coming
places (Bordeaux Cotes de Francs, Cotes de Castillon). It helps that
2005 was particularly good for the Right Bank, and there are so many
interesting nooks and crannies there.

My picks a

D'Aiguilhe ($39.70 Can.), Count von Neipperg's chateau in Cotes de
Castillon.

Chateau Puygueraud ($21.85) and Chateau Marsau from Cotes de Francs.

Gigault Cuvee Viva ($28.80) from Premiers Côtes de Blaye

and Pipeau ($30.95) from Saint-Émilion - a winery that is getting some
great accolades from both the Wine Spectator and R. Parker Jr.

Does anyone else have any other sneaky picks? I'd be interested to
know.
