I would’ve expected more than 1/3 champagne in your cellar given how much you drink! Mine is ~45% champagne.

There’s definitely an imbalance, given how many bubbles we open compared to still wines. It has to be 10:1. I didn’t start my champagne deep dive until about a decade ago.

Mine has shifted a lot in the last couple of years as I rebalance and focus more on old favorites as retirement nears. I was a little surprised when I looked, but overall this feels right.

Yquem
L’Evangile
Niellon
Mouton
Drouhin
Kerpen
Serafin
Willi Schaefer
Dujac
Lafite

Curious which are your favorite Sottimano’s?

1060

I’d say Cotta is my favorite. Fausoni would be next. I also find their Langhe Nebbiolo and Barbera d’alba to be excellent values. Have you tasted through the range?

Not yet but was curious because buying them now. Picked up a few cotta and one Fausoni. Thanks for your view!

Seems like Cotta consistently preferred by critics and cellar tracker but by only a slight margin

Martin, noticed that Brovia dropped off the list. Curious if that is because you are prioritizing drinking them or if you are selling them due to changes in preferences.

I ask because I have been adding Brovia and always nice to learn from someone with more experience

Scott, simply a question of trimming/reducing my cellar over the past 18 months, a task that will I have to continue. As I used to buy 12 bottles and a magnum of Villero and Rocche in most vintages I’ve decided that six of each will do, therefore a drop in my Brovia-stock. I still adore their wines …..
