A New "Top 10 Producers In Your Cellar" Thread

markjahnkeMember

As my wife and I sit here watching Sideways(yes, I know there are some haters of this movie out there but we still enjoy it) for the um-teenth million time, I figured I would run a query in CellarTracker.

That being said, who are your Top 10 produces you have "in-stock" in terms of volume? It's been a while since we've seen this thread, so why not...

Mine are:

Stefania (still first not including the pending)
Sea Smoke
Kosta Browne
Kistler
Tobin James
Sanford
Auteur
Joseph Phelps
Maybach
Don Miguel Gascon (I know, embarassing, but I stocked up on this Malbec. Nice daily drinker and a wine that guests fine absolutely delicious).

1 Van Der Heyden
2 Ridge Monte Bello
3 Lewelling
4 Neal Family
5 Penfolds
6 Château Suduiraut
7 Concha y Toro
8 Woodside Vineyards
9 Stefania
10 Château Rieussec
11 School House

Of those, most are slipping down the list. I can't afford to buy much these days;
when I do it's almost entirely cellar defenders or SCM/SCV wineries.
