Your cellar by varietal? (Fun with CT Reports)

Here’s mine. Most of my wines are from France or Italy.

Pinot Noir 273 ( mostly red Burgs)
Chardonnay 154 (mostly Chablis & Cote Beaune)
Sangiovese 101
Red Rhone Blends 94
Red BDX Blends 90 (surprised I have these many)
Nebbiolo 73 ( my growth area)
Syrah 40
Gamay 28 ( all Cru Beaujolais)
Champagne Blends 26
Cabernet Sauvignon dominate 21
Tempranillo 21
Riesling 15
Mouvedre 11
Chenin 5

Most of my wines are not varietals.

  1. Pinot Noir (56 bottles & 17 pending)
  2. Nebbiolo (23 bottles)
  3. Syrah (13 bottles & 4 pending)

Need to work on upping my Syrah and Nebbiolo.

I just discovered Gamay (5 bottles) and it looks like Nebbiolo needs to be next.

If you use CellarTracker the sort option is by “varietal” but the heading on my Safari browser tab after sorting is “My Cellar grouped by Variety- CellarTracker”.

Interesting. Which of your wines are varietals?

The top 15 are:

Pinot Noir 13.8%
Red Bordeaux Blend 12.3%
Cabernet Sauvignon 11.5%
Syrah 6.1%
Chardonnay 5.6%
Red Blend 5.0%
Red Rhone Blend 4.2%
Zinfandel 3.9%
Roussanne 2.7%
Nebbiolo 2.3%
Riesling 2.2%
Sangiovese 1.9%
Nerello Mascalese 1.5%
Petite Sirah 1.5%
Grenache 1.4%

And the remaining 24% is spread across 55 others.

Like Bob, I don’t think I have any varietals…

But in the spirit of the question, Pinot Noir and Riesling are on top at about 20% each, both because I like them and they take a long time to come around. In that light, Gamay at 12% is even bigger. I expect Cabernet Franc to make a substantial increase in coming years, so long as the Baudries keep their prices so fair.

The biggest surprise: I have almost as much Chardonnay as Savagnin and Romorantin. I had no idea, and have clearly been working through the Romo too quickly.

Pinot Noir 23.5%
Syrah 11.5%
Cabernet Sauvignon 8.3%
Zinfandel 8.3%
Red Bordeaux Blend 7.8%
Chardonnay 5.8%
Whole bunch of everything else 34.8%

Pinot Noir - 16.68%
Syrah - 14.60%
Red Rhone Blend - 13.96%
Cabernet Sauvignon - 8.89%
Malt - 8.19%
Red Blend - 5.60%
Zinfandel - 4.39%
Red Bordeaux Blend - 3.81%
Syrah Blend - 3.52%
Chardonnay - 3.17%
Zinfandel Blend - 2.77%
Petite Sirah - 1.79%
Grenache - 1.67%
Nebbiolo - 1.67%

Beer is now in the top 5!!
34 other varietals at <1%

I’m shocked–shocked, I tell you! [cheers.gif]

for me,

Pinot Noir 27.0%
Cabernet Sauvignon 15.1%
Syrah 12.9%
Chardonnay 10.1%
Red Rhone Blend 9.4%

but Riesling is gaining
