Just got the email from CellarTracker of the community “insights” for the past year, as well as how mine compared.
What are your thoughts? Anything surprising?
D’Yquem was the top rated wine.
Ridge and Bedrock were the most tasted producers, respectively.
I had 60 tasting notes, 101 wines consumed and my top region unsurprisingly (thanks to the Champagne thread was) — Champagne.
Pinot Noir not in top ten of wine varieties purchased, yet Burgundy #2 in purchased regions? That’a lot of chardonnay (only #10 in grape varieties) and gamay (not listed in top ten either). Maybe #6 was supposed to be Pinot Noir and not Pinot Meunier.
Consumed 352 bottles but wrote only 12 tasting notes. Not good. While I have over 1,100 tasting notes in total, this past year I’ve been verrrry lazy. Hope to correct that in '24.
#6 = Pinot Meunier is “Favorite Varieties.” PM based Champagnes do well.
OTOH, Burgundy lovers are tough graders and Pinot Noir never ends up high on aggregate ratings. It typically ends up in the upper 80s, iirc. Which is solid and correct for many Burgs but not competitive with the world of higher scoring wines.
eta - PN was #11 with an aggregate of 90.88803142 for tasted in 2023, so upper 80s wasn’t far off.
I could make a lot of commentary on the deceptive nature of ratings in global sets, but the data we do on these reports has minimal tinkering on my end (deliberately.)
We don’t have a Top 10 on purchased/consumed varieties. I will see if I can pull that later but my previous data runs did show Pinot on top for both.
Top 10 in Purchased varieties 
Pinot Noir
Red Bordeaux Blend
Cabernet Sauvignon
Chardonnay
Syrah
Red Blend
Sangiovese
Champagne Blend
Nebbiolo
Riesling
And Top 10 in Consumed :
Pinot Noir
Cabernet Sauvignon
Chardonnay
Red Bordeaux Blend
Syrah
Red Blend
Sangiovese
Champagne Blend
Red Rhone Blend
Zinfandel
So … people buy Nebbiolo and RIesling and don’t drink them. 
(They are both just outside the Top 10, tbf.)
(I forgot that we ran those but they aren’t part of the published report.)
Thanks for posting this. I thought I had a few too many bottles but then again there are 3 and sometime 4 of us drinking… 
Ah, I thought it was a popularity contest based in numbers added to cellars. In that ranking, it appropriately ranks #1.
89 and 90.9 are pretty significant differences in CT scoring, no? Avg. Scores all seem bunched in an 88-91 range, with very limited exceptions, and of course some outlier scores from individuals.
It was tongue-in-cheek.
You are correct about clustering.
Hey @Andrew_Hall!
Just found out I didn’t have the option for insights checked in my settings, so I didn’t receive this Insight. Any chance now that I have enabled it to receive one in any way?
Thanks!
I am checking into that w/ the tech side.
Don’t think it is possible based on the way this is triggered.
Ah, that’s a bummer! Thank you though.
