1. California
2. Bordeaux
3. Italy

Bordeaux, by the smallest of margins over Cali and then Rhone, but only because this category includes Sauternes.

1. Burgundy
2. California
3. Piedmont

50% Bordeaux
10% Aussie
10% California
7% Rhone
5% Germany
18% Misc

Bordeaux, but only because of futures.

Setting aside futures and looking at the bottles I "just buy", Italy would dominate, with Burgundy and Rhone coming right after. Australia would have been #2 a couple of years ago, but I'm having trouble differentiating between many Ozzies lately, leading to fewer purchases.

Like some others, the highest-represented region is the Rhône, which surprisingly isn't one the choices. After that, I think it's Australia, with Italy close behind.

[Given those two predominant regions, would anyone care to guess which varietal has become my favourite? ]

California, then Italy, then Bordeaux.

California then Italy and France tie.

Piemonte then Toscana, third is Friuli. Other then Italy, Spain, which is mostly Priorat.

California or bust baby!

1. Argentina
2. Italy
3. Australia
4. South Africa
5. Spain
6. Misc of a few different countries such as Chile and New Zealand.

1. Bordeaux
2. German Riesling
3. Italy (Only Tuscany)
4. Burgundy
5. Rhone
6. Alsace
7. Spain
8. Portugal
9. New World (Australia, Chile, Argentina)

>40% Germany followed Cal and Aussie 15% each.

Technically, my cellar is mostly CA if you add up Pinot, Syrah, Zin and Cabs. If we split up CA by vairetal, it would be Bordeaux.

1 - Bordeaux
2 - Burgundy
3 - Rhône
4 - Elsewhere

No surprise- Ca followed by Australia

1-Napa
2-Bordeaux
3-Southern Rhone
4-Sonoma
5-Paso Robles
6-Santa Rita Hills
7-Northern Rhone
8-Oregon
9-Washington
10-Spain

Where is the Rhone valley?

It's a small country between Death Valley and Las Vegas. The king of the Rhone Valley lives in Scotty's Castle. It's known for its outstanding wines, because water is in such short supply.

CA - 53%
Bordeaux - 32%

Italy.

But it is closely followed by Bordeaux, Rhone and Germany.

Most of my wines are producing in Switzerland a lot of swiss specialities:
Petite Arvine
Fendant
Humagne Rouge
Humagne Blanche
and some blendeds

1. France
2. Italy
3. Spain
4. Oregon/Cali/etc.

Over the last 10 years I have bought more from Italy than anywhere, but must hold those Bordeaux and Rhone's for many years!

Hello, SEBALUDY. Reading your post makes me realize how many wines I've never tried! I do not think I've had a wine from Switzerland. I'll have to search one out.

The only ones I have had were while in Switzerland. We enjoyed them (off-dry) but how can you not enjoy wine in Switzerland.

Reminded me a little of the wines from Alsace, which is a good thing. I have never seen any here in Texas.
