Michel Abood: Paul Jaouen:Most from one producer was Beaucastel followed by Pegau. Big surprise, eh?
Point whore.

We’re both right, Paul’s bi, he goes both ways.
4 cases or so of Ardbeg
The scotch?
Jeezus.
Ardbeg. Truly uisge beatha, water of life. Of the current range, particularly Airigh Nam Beist. Distilled in 1990 and bottled between 2006 and 2008 (even though the age statement on all bottles is 16 years old). 46% abv. Unchillfiltered. Call Brett Pontini at Binny’s and he’ll set you up.
Ardbeg.
Bisson Prosecco
German Riesling
Then everything else [plenty of Puzelat Pinot Meunier, some Puffeney Poulsard, bits and pieces of other stuff].
But mostly Prosecco and Riesling.
Fair enough mark
I’ll pick some up
Tip o the cap to your liver(s)
Okay. Got the scotch. Peaty S.O.B.
But, so far, so good.

To answer the question at hand, I would say Napa Cab leads the pack as far as region and varietal.
The holy trinity of spicy food fiends everywhere: Champagne, Belgian Ale, Prosecco (and a little Lambrusco on the side!)
Followed by small lots of a HUGE array of stuff, mostly Italian, Spanish and Português and mostly red.
By Region:
California (by a BIG margin)
South Australia
Tuscany
Rhone
By Varietal:
Syrah
Cabernet
Zinfandel
Shiraz
Petite Sirah
Cliff
Domestic:
Pinot
Bordeaux Blends
Zinfandel

Some misc imports but not lots this year.
“4 cases or so of Ardbeg…”
A bottle a week of serious single malt?
Day-amn! I salute you…
Merely one drink a day, purely for medicinal purposes…

One ‘drink’ is what, 5 fingers?
107ml, just over two airplane sized bottles.
Checked Cellartracker - Champagne has been in #1 for 5 of the 6 years. I love it, but I’m surprised.
Champagne
Burgundy
California
A change from last year - where it was Champagne, Rhone, Germany
Who’d a thunk.
Impressive Adam.
