Just a bit of a heads up...
Currently on Jancis Robinson's discussion board it seems that quite a few customers are experiencing difficulty getting their futures out of 1855.com. That is worrying, especially since the stated reason for their sluggishness is that they've been growing too fast. Hmmm. I know that I prefer no unpleasant surprises from a firm that has taken prepayment from me, especially given the last few years' experiences with wine company fraud/mismanagement (Mayfair, Vintage Hallmark, etc.).
In my limited experience, it's worth paying a slight risk premium by going with someone reputable... I use K&L or Wine Club in the US (I've been their customer, they've been mine), and BBR in The UK.
Happy drinking!
