A year later, a bit of shuffling, but essentially the same. I was suprirsed to see we have 461 different wine producers in the cellar, but the below list accounts for 35% of bottles.
Hadn’t done this in a while. Some changes, but beginning to stabilize more in recent years. It only took me 20 years to figure out what i really like I only have 102 producers and declining.
Yes, a lot of our 461 producers are represented by 1-2 orphan bottles. I’ve had the thought a few times to just sweep all of those up and have a big party as a cellar tidying exercise.
Never done this before. I have 220 different wineries represented in the cellar, excluding everyday wines. Many of the American brands offer multiple grape varieties, but are only counted once, while many of the European brands are just a few bottles each. Fun! THX for the nudge to do this.
Don’t have much space + have lots of things where I have 1-2 bottles each. My significant other and I both love it so I grabbed a bunch a while ago to save for special occasions
Probably not gonna be buying too much more because of cost lol

I love this thread because I can easily see other people that have similar tastes and then I see a producer in their cellar I haven’t tried and I immediately have a bunch of new wines to explore.
