- TheEngineer - 01-10-2011 I generally think of myself as being a drinker of many different wines and a quick search of CT will show that the vast majority of wines I have bought I only get between 1 to 3 bottles (have almost 500 producers in my cellar). But on the converse, when I like a producer, I get stuck on them and they appear to dominate my cellar. My top tive account for 20% of my cellar, mostly due to verticals. Also to my surprise, while I own more Bordeaux and Burgundy than anything else, my top three producers are not from those locations (and decidedly mainstream): (1) Joh Jos Prum (2) Vollenweider (3) Ch. Beaucastel (4) G. Roumier (5) Ch. Montrose Then again, perhaps 20% is not too dominant a position total? Perhaps I'm not as diverse as I think I am. Perhaps I spend too much time with Cellartracker??? [This message has been edited by TheEngineer (edited 01-10-2011).] - VouvrayHead - 01-13-2011 Just dropped in and saw this. Went over to CT. Here's mine, although admittedly many of these are just because I have a case of a particular wine [img]/ubb/smile.gif[/img] 1 Domaine de la Pepiere (Marc Ollivier) 2 Harvest Moon 3 Huet 4 Sean Thackrey I'm closer to 100 producers. - wondersofwine - 01-14-2011 Not finished entering my collection on CellarTracker but I think it's a safe bet that my top producer is Williams Selyem. Runner-ups include Ridge (mostly Lytton Springs), Merry Edwards and Loring Wine Company and Biale (mostly Zinfnadels.) I am starting to add Alysian wines (Gary Farrell's new venture) and Lioco wines (Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.) I usually buy one to three of a particular wine at a time and occasionally four to six but no full cases. A holdover from past purchase decisions are some Marquis Phillips (mostly Shiraz and Sarah's Blend.) They aren't that appealing to me now so may sit for a long time or be offered as gifts to anyone locally that wants them. - Innkeeper - 01-14-2011 Knapp Tobin James Easton/Terre Rouge Masciarelli Jorge Ordonez - Kcwhippet - 01-14-2011 IK, From what I know of Jorge Ordonez, he's an importer, not a producer. His portfolio shows about 135 wines from over 40 wineries. I haven't narrowed down my list yet. - Innkeeper - 01-14-2011 His name is on the bottle of Garnacha de Fuego as producer. We probably drink more of that than any other wine! - hotwine - 01-15-2011 - Antinori - Ch. Lagrange/Talbot/Leoville las Cases/virtually any St Julien - virtually any Sancerre - Santa Cruz Mtn. Vineyards - Virtually any French Grenache/Spanish Garnacha Did I mention Antinori? - andrawes76 - 01-15-2011 Top 6 (last 4 & 5 are a tie) - Chateau Beaucastel - Chateau Pavie St. Emilion - Constant Diamond Mtn Cabernet - Robert Craig Affinity - Altamura Napa Cabernet - Achaval Ferrer (either Mirador or Altamira) - wondersofwine - 01-18-2011 Care to share any of that Chateau Pavie, you lucky fellow? - TheEngineer - 01-18-2011 [quote]Originally posted by wondersofwine: [b]Care to share any of that Chateau Pavie, you lucky fellow?[/b][/quote] +1, especially if it is the 2000!!! |
