2005 Sam's Futures Question

There are quite a few people on the other board being told by Sams’ that delivery of their 05 futures is imminent but there still is an uneasy feeling to it. Has anyone here gotten 05 BDX futures from Sams’ recently, say in the past week or so?

Was told mine would ship out last Monday or Tuesday by air. 6 days later, no wine and no word. Needless to say, a phone call will be made tomorrow.

I was just told there was a delay on some of the wines that were supposed to go out last week because the truck that makes deliveries from the distributor to Sams’ wasn’t big enough to carry the whole load. Supposed to be another delivery this week. They’ve already charged my credit card for shipping so they must be confident that this is going to happen.

Chris Durbin said that several of my '05 futures are supposed to ship tomorrow; looks like I will catch a break with the weather. Still waiting on a case of Grand Puy Lacoste and d’Armailhac though; Chris said it would likely be another “couple of weeks” before they are ready to ship

After yet another delay, the latest of many, I cancelled my last futures order with Sam’s , 6 bottles of 2005 Pierre de Lune. An RP 95, I got a good price @ $45. per two years ago. I was late ordering this very limited item, several weeks after RP posted his score, and I always had my doubts it would ever turn up. It still might, but I don’t really care as my palate seems to have shifted towards less wooded wines…
