I am by no means an expert, but this is an area of interest for me.
In that price range (i.e. really high end), most 2010 wine will not be available yet. For example, 2010 is apparently an exceptional year for Bordeaux wines. I just put in a preorder for a number of cases of 2010, and I will not get the wine until the end of 2012. I did the same for 2009, which was also apparently a good Bordeaux year. I don't even have that wine yet. Also, the really high end wines take even longer to get into their prime. You may not want to drink such a high end wine that young. (It will still be good, but not at its prime.)
We have a number of high end wines (~$100) for the year of our wedding (2005). Most of them I still waiting a few more years before opening, since they are still quite young.
Calgary has a number of good wine stores. Is the same true where you live? I recommend going into one of them and speak with them and see what they have to say. Actually, I would recommend going to a few of them to get their opinion. Mainly because I think it would be fun and with more opinions you will likely be able to make a more informed decision.
