Since 2005:

Taittinger (almost exclusively Comtes BdB)
Vilmart
Ceritas
Gilbert Picq (love this but rarely see it anymore)
Krug
Huet
Mongeard-Mugneret (I used to buy a lot in Michigan)
Billecart Salmon
Girardin (a surprise; havenā€™t had one in a dozen or more years)
Charles Heidsieck (mostly '95 BdM)
Rhys

I donā€™t know how to search by the last 3 or 5 years, but it would be a bit different.

These are not in order of consumption

Since 2009, my wine ā€œbeginningā€ and start of tracking on CT. The numbers are total bottles ā€œconsumedā€, which including drinking, gifting, etcā€¦

Steppe Cellars - 210
Maison Bleue - 187
Alexandria Nicole - 110
JB Neufeld - 103
Milbrandt - 91
Cooper Wine Company - 89
Naches Heights Vineyard - 87
Cultura - 83
Severino - 68
Rotie - 66
Two Mountain - 66

Past 5+ years, 2017-2022. This took a bit of sorting, exporting, and addition from CT => Excel

JB Neufeld - 57
Rotie - 45
Cultura - 37
Rasa -33
Maison Bleue - 31
Cooper - 27
Naches Heights Vineyard - 23
CT Barrel - 21
Adams Bench - 21
Steppe Cellars - 18
Biggio Hamina -18

Some names consistent, a few dropped off, a few new recent favorites.

Cayuse
Bedrock
Clarendon Hills
Loosen
Roederer

Davenport of course

Alexandria Nicole makes some nice Syrahā€™s. Milbrandt for the cheaper side makes some very drinkable wines. Have not tried Cooper Wine however.

Gosh thatā€™s an enviable list though Iā€™m surprised to see Fourrier in the #1 spot. I feel like people rarely discuss Fourrier on WB

Being able to do a CT report that has customized time parameters would be awesome.

Similarly, it would be awesome to be able to run a report with customized exclusions (e.g.: it runs calculations WITHOUT all my tracked beers included).

Very interesting seeing some common threads here. Although I feel like I am a bit boring - in no order:

Bedrock
Ridge
Tablas Creek
Terre Rouge/Easton
Roederer Estate
Niepoort
Jadot
De Negoce
Kirkland Signature - The Chianti and Rioja are generally great values.

After that there is a long tail of producers - I suspect next year there will probably be a few OR and FLX producers on this list for me.

When I donā€™t know what to drink, would naturally reach out for a Fourrier as his wines hardly ever disappoint. It helps that I got allocations for many vintages.

Your list looks decently varied to me, but my view is not important. If you feel like you are a bit boring, branch out of your comfort zone and try wines from new regions or countries.

For purchases or consumed bottles in CT, you can narrow results by begin/end dates. E.g. CT home ā†’ Wine Purchased ā†’ Narrow Results ā†’ Beginning Purchase.

Going back to 2004, when I first became seriously into wine, this is my top ten:

Dƶnnhoff
Selbach-Oster
Leitz
Jadot
JJ PrĆ¼m
Produttori di Barbaresco
Zind-Humbrecht
Keller
Peter Lauer
von Winning, regardless of whether Dr. Deinhard is included in the total

In the past 2-3 years, Iā€™ve bought less from Keller (as discussed in another thread); and Produttori (after many years, the price of the Riservas has finally caught up to the quality). Five years from now, Iā€™m sure that Falkenstein, at least, will pass both of them.

The rest I continue to buy and drink regularly.

Fourrier is also #1 for me (my list was in order). I think some people donā€™t like his style, which is just fine from my perspective. Iā€™ve heard complaints that the wines are too similar, but having done a number of Fourrier tastings, thereā€™s quite a bit of vintage/cuvee variation. To each their own. :grinning:

Hard to know for sure since I am not on Cellar Tracker, but this will be pretty close. Not in any order.
