Which US wines do you buy year-in, year out?

[David_McCracken]

In terms of active purchasing, it’s basically Ridge, Rhys, Copain, and Big Basin, with Bedrock in the wings. There are a few other local wineries in cycling range that I’ll stop by once or twice a year and pick up a bottle or two (Burrell School, Loma Prieta, Lightheart, Clos la Chance, and Windy Hill). What else are panniers for?

[Hunter_Landrum]

Littorai chards and Monte Bello.

[Russ_Williams]

Over the last 4-5 years:
Arcadian
Rhys
Copain
Windy Oaks
Rivers-Marie
Maybach until this year
Carlisle
Kutch
Rudius

Over the last 2-3 years, but see buying from these for a very long time:
Ceritas
Bedrock

my serious buying track record is too short to make “year-in, year-out” a meaningful metric, but in the spirit of the question, i’m building veritcals of Ridge (MB zins, atps, the whole lot). Rhys and Shafer HSS

[C_G_Nieto]

Down to RM, Maybach, and Rhys.

@Roy Piper

I have always been curious which wines or wineries people here buy every year. Everyone probably has some perennials and I am curious who they are. Name as many as you think apply. If the answer is “none” then that is fine too. Any variety. Any price. Any American source. I am only interested in the US wines, not from outside the US. Anyone can answer.

Only one:

Ridge

[David_McMillen]

I buy mostly American and I don’t have a terribly long track record:
Rhys, Rivers Marie, Spottswoode, Lillian, Antica Terra, Failla, Copain, Kutch

[Hayley_B]

@John Liotta

None. I’m not sure I buy anything, from anywhere year-in, year-out.

+1 because I keep a small cellar right now. We’ll see how long that lasts.

That said, I buy the most U.S. wines from Kapcsandy, Keever, Corison, Spottswoode, Mount Eden, Ridge. Rhys and Bedrock will be joining them as soon as I get off their wait lists.
