I know many of us struggle to find the right balance in our cellars between age, varieties, favored producers, etc. Along these lines, what one grape variety would you like to add more of to your cellar?
For me, no question it’s Riesling. I have almost none (<2% of my cellar), it’s freaking delicious and relatively cheap.
Nebbiolo. Still confused by Italian wine. Not for lack of trying, mostly because of the lack of opportunity for tasting, high price, and time to mature.
Nebbiolo. I’ve been primarily focused on cab, zin, and sangiovese for the last 2-3 years and am quite happy with my resulting cellar. But, I need to pay more attention to laying down some reasonably priced nebbiolo for a few years down the road.
I also wish I had more Blaufrankisch in my cellar. Great aging potential, food friendly fruit and acid. Low enough alc I’m not struggling the next day, etc.
funny. I never look at what I own in deciding what to buy. I may do that if buying a shirt or pair of pants but not wine. If it is a good deal and I like the wine, I buy it.
