Didn't find any threads in a search, and I am curious to see which wineries you score the best in your own notes. I have only been saving TNs for about 2.5 years, but here are my top 10 based on average score with a minimum of 10 notes per winery:

Domaine Serene- 91.2
Merryvale- 89.3
Allegrini- 88.0
Seghesio Family Vineyards- 87.1
Penfolds- 86.3
Cline Cellars-86.0
Beaulieu Vineyard- 85.8
Columbia Crest- 85.5
Clos du Val- 85.4
Robert Mondavi Winery- 85.2
tied- Concha y Toro- 85.2

*Ridge, Phelps, Caymus, and many others averaged at 90 points plus, but had only nine or fewer TNs. E Guigal would be up there, had I posted some notes for CdRs, Stag's Leap was barely excluded because of one terrible score. I don't drink enough Bordeaux or Burgundy to include any French estates, although they are some of my top scorers overall. California wines make up over 60% my of total consumption.

Not one California winery with an average of 90 or higher...

I dont have the stats in front of me nor do I have the volume of notes/tastes per winery, but am pretty sure it would be similar to the volumes by producer in my celllar. Of the wines I have had enough of to have a decen sample size, I would think the top ones are Saxum, Larkmead, Kistler (chards) & JJ Prum.

Made me look in CT...

I have 200 notes for 192 wineries.
I know I have had mutiples of some wines that aren't in CT notes.
I guess it make me a wine ______ (Enter adjective here).
I've got to be more consistent with my notes !!

Well like you I've only been posting my tasting notes on CT for about 2 1/2 years. The minimum 10 tasting notes per producer is a little hard in that I taste a wide variety of wines so not a lot from a single producer. Here's the top 10, quite an interesting cross section between France and California:

Bollinger (93.4 pts. in 10 notes)
Aubert (93.0 pts. in 15 notes)
Château Lynch-Bages (92.7 pts. in 10 notes)
Krug (92.4 pts. in 15 notes)
Didier Dagueneau (92.1 pts. in 12 notes)
Joseph Phelps (91.9 pts. in 15 notes)
Match Vineyards (91.6 pts. in 10 notes)
Domaine des Baumard (91.5 pts. in 13 notes)
Zind-Humbrecht (91.3 pts. in 25 notes)
Kistler (91.3 pts. in 14 notes)

Interesting. Here is a query (will only work in a meaningful way if you are logged in) showing the top 10 rated producers based on your own notes where you have at least 4 notes for that producer:

Rerun the query Eric based on 10 notes. That's the requirement. I'd like to see the results over the entire population.

Using your criteria:

Gunderloch (93.6 pts. in 19 notes)
Château Suduiraut (93.4 pts. in 10 notes)
Weingut Robert Weil (93.2 pts. in 13 notes)
Joh. Jos. Prüm (92.8 pts. in 18 notes)
Kathryn Kennedy (92.5 pts. in 13 notes)
Bert Simon (92.1 pts. in 12 notes)
Château Gruaud Larose (91.8 pts. in 11 notes)
Neal Family (91.6 pts. in 18 notes)
Weingut Josef Leitz (91.5 pts. in 13 notes)
Le Cadeau (91.5 pts. in 13 notes)

VM

I don't use CT, but I can tell you, if I did, and 10 notes is the requirement, my results would look something like this (in ROUGH descending order):

Montrose (this would easily take #1)
Quintarelli
Karl Lawrence
Tomasso Bussola
Sandrone
Peter Michael

<there would be a little jump here>

Chapoutier
Aubert
La Spinetta
Martinelli
Muller Catoir

I'm sorry that your wine experiences have sucked so badly, Eric.

Here's mine right now:

Salon (94.8 pts. in 10 notes)
Poderi Aldo Conterno (93.1 pts. in 10 notes)
Podere Poggio Scalette (92.3 pts. in 11 notes)
Azienda Bricco Rocche (Ceretto) (91.8 pts. in 13 notes)
E. Guigal (91.5 pts. in 15 notes)
Château de Beaucastel (91.3 pts. in 11 notes)
Elderton (91.1 pts. in 10 notes)
Michele Castellani (90.8 pts. in 14 notes)
E. Fuligni (Cottimelli) (90.7 pts. in 28 notes)
Poggio Antico (90.2 pts. in 29 notes)

Then again, I haven't really typed any notes in since the end of April.

If all the Ceretto estates were combined, that might be a little higher, factoring in the Bricco Asili estate plus their main property at La Bernardina.

Yeah, it is a bit of a ridiculous roll-call of producers...

Its easy to see which country has my preference:

Fattoria Petrolo (92,0 pts. in 9 notes)
Conti Costanti (91,5 pts. in 6 notes)
Fattoria Poggio di Sotto (91,1 pts. in 11 notes)
Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona (90,8 pts. in 5 notes)
Valdicava (90,8 pts. in 5 notes)
La Magia (90,3 pts. in 8 notes)
Fanti (Tenuta San Filippo) (90,0 pts. in 4 notes)
Sesta di Sopra (Sestadisopra) (89,5 pts. in 13 notes)
Fontanafredda (89,3 pts. in 4 notes)
Cusumano (88,3 pts. in 4 notes)

(based on the >4-TN query)

Other users have a slightly different perspective on my cellar:

Fontodi (94,2 pts. in 11 notes)
Valdicava (93,3 pts. in 24 notes)
Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona (93,3 pts. in 15 notes)
La Brancaia (92,5 pts. in 17 notes)
Poggio Antico (92,0 pts. in 12 notes)
Conti Costanti (91,9 pts. in 25 notes)
Antinori (91,9 pts. in 42 notes)
Errazuriz (91,8 pts. in 7 notes)
Château Duhart-Milon (91,6 pts. in 10 notes)
Fattoria Petrolo (91,6 pts. in 28 notes)

Feel free to tweak it. If I were to average the scores of the TN to use for the missing values of wineries with less than 10 notes (but more than 5), My list would look more like this (rounded to 1/2%):


Chateau Lynch Badges- 94.5
Siro Pacenti- 93.5
Joseph Phelps- 93
Chateau Cos d' Estournel- 93
Caymus- 92.5
Luce- 92.5
Ridge- 92
Nicolas Potel- 91.5
Domaine Serene- 91
Mayacamas- 90.5

When you click on the link, you get the top wines for Eric. To get your own, you must replace the number 1 after "UserOverride=" in the link with your own user number. And Eric, your wine list makes me wish I bought a lot of Microsoft stock in the early and mid 90's.

2002 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select CT96.4
2001 Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon Hillside Select CT96.1
2005 Quilceda Creek Cabernet Sauvignon CT95.5
2005 Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Kanzler Vineyard CT95.1
2001 St. Clement Cabernet Sauvignon Star Vineyard CT95
2002 Cliff Lede Cabernet Sauvignon Poetry CT95
2003 Sequum Cabernet Sauvignon CT95
2002 Joseph Phelps Insignia CT94.8
1999 Fanti CT94.7
2003 Robert Foley Claret CT94.7

I don't put down scores (I don't want to got there) but this is what I show, but I haven't counted the number of notes.

Using the radio buttons on the left in the "Filter and search User focus:" section will accomplish this as well.

Sorry for the confusion... those are the avg CT community ratings for the wines I own ("Others on my wines").

My bad, I thought I had pasted the link sans the user directive. The steps above (radio button toggle) are the best way to work around this. Thanks folks.

And Jim, come to Seattle and help me drink it down any time.

Actually, I'm stunned at how precise Eric's palate is - I can't score my wines to more than three decimal places
