A variant on the other thread - what is the varietal break down of what you drink?
My data is from 2009 and from two different means of looking at it - TNs written (might not be my bottle) and consumption from my cellar.
TN % Drank from my cellar
Pinot Noir 13.8% 15%
Chardonnay 8.5% 6.7%
Red Bdx 7.3% 8.5%
Riesling 7.1% 5.3%
Red Blend 6.0% 6.0%
White Blend 5.3% 5.7%
Cab Sauv 4.7% 3.7%
Syrah 2.7% 4.4%
The most interesting thing I see is that I drink Chard from my cellar and out (writing a TN) more than I cellar it anymore. Makes sense with premox - when I dine out at a restaurant with good white Burgs, I am very likely to order them knowing that I can send back a bad bottle. Less risk than cellaring. The other amusing thing is that I write notes on about 1/2 of the Syrah I drink (less considering I went to a Syrah offline and wrote maybe two notes) which makes sense since I find most Syrah to be boring.
Mine is similar to the other list, except that I drink more Riesling, Syrah and Pinot (in particular) than I am cellaring. This makes sense. I tend to get and drink new-world Pinot (Loring) and cellar it for less time than my old-world wines. And I like to crank through young Riesling even though I am cellaring a lot too.
Red Bordeaux Blend
Syrah
Red Rhone Blend
Cabernet
Riesling
Pinot
Sangio
Interestingly my consumption reports don;t show percentage like the in-stock, something I just noticed last night since I am in the middle of recoding all of this stuff. And it would be nice to have a more copy/paste friendly way to spit this onto a BB without the more sensitive details (costs, values, totals). Hmm, more features for the list…
Mine would be different than the other poll, and one of the primary reasons is that I don’t bother “inventorying” most whites, so they never show in my CT numbers. But we drink a lot of chablis & muscadet on a day-to-day basis, and also drink a lot of Sancerre in the summertime. In terms of reds, Bordeaux, nebbiolo & sangiovese - not sure what varietal would come in fourth.
I understand. But since the “patient is on the table” and I am in the middle of (re)coding/(re)organizing all of this stuff, the new site now has percentages. 'Twas one line of code. Same for purchases. The % is probably the most useful thing in the report to be honest, and it was a mere oversight that I didn’t add it years ago.
I just think it is funny that I have spent all weekend bending my brain around this code while these threads are burning away.
