How much of the Top 100 do you own?

Consider the urinating squirrel graemlin posted.

#1 Saxum
#6 Paul Hobbs
#12 Kosta Browne
#17 Tensley
#18 Hall
#19 Coho
#20 Carlisle
#25 Ruffino
#32 Evening Land
#33 Tablas Creek
#71 Roco

5 in the Top 50, None in the Top 10. All purchased before June.

4 in the top 50. Since I mostly buy Italian, I have the Flaccianello (#8), Modus (#25), and Terralsole (#31). Also the Kosta Browne (#12). I've only opened the KB; anybody tried the other 3, and what were your thoughts?

Anybody looking to increase their holdings can pretty much pick up the Mumm at any grocery store. I just happened to get a couple of bottles of it and the rose.

Four of them:

#1 Saxun
#12 Kosta Browne
#27 Aubert
#60 Dagueneau

Only three for me. It seems that as each year passes, I have fewer wines in the top 100.

This year I have:

Dow x 17
Beaucastel Hommage x 1
Schild x 11

Let's take your cellar and Board-O's cellar, put them up for auction, then decide who is out of touch.

What does the credit card company say... priceless.

I'm sure both of us!
BTW, I missed one and now, I have three three bottles in the "Top 100" , the 2008 Kosta Browne, Maybach, and Saxum.

Not a single wine from the WS100.

Like others, some wines from other vintages but nothing from the list.

I do wish I had more Coho and some Clos de Pape Blanc would be nice from this vintage.
Very nice indeed.

It looks like once again I missed the boat and have none in the Top 100. I did a quick look through WS archives and it appears that the last time the Top 100 list and my cellar had something in common was 2006 -- 2004 Ken Wright Canary Hill Pinot Noir. I don't think I've ever had more than 3 or 4.

Took a quick look at the list this morning and I have 4:

07 Flaccianello
09 St.-Urbans-Hof Riesling Kabinett
07 Dagueneau Silex
07 Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet Clavoillon

These also happen to be the 4 best wines on the list

The only other wine on the list that I would like to have is the 07 Beaucastel Hommage, but it’s a bit more than I care to spend on wine.

I've consumed a half dozen of the Oregon and Washington wines, but none are currently in my cellar. The WA reds are all great QPR, but only the Owen Roe Syrah is a keeper.

I'd certainly have chosen different Oregon wines.
Most are far from the best in their class. The Evening Land project is big outside money elbowing out long time local vintners, so that is a definite no-go for me.

Overall, I'm amazed at how little interest I have in owning any of the 100 choices, whether for stylistic reasons or poor QPR. I will eventually purchase a few. Right now my count is zero. In most years it has been 5 to 12.

None this year. I guess that makes me a failure. Where do I turn in my corkscrew?

I have a couple. The only one on the list I don't have that interests me is the Urbans-Hof, but I would pick it up when the LWS gets it anyway, whether it was on the list or not.

I thought that I diverged so much for two reasons - not a lot of CdP on the list
- don't use WS much as a recommendation source anymore

Don't know. Haven't looked. Probably none.

I can't believe that anyone is buying the 2007 Ruffino Modus at the prices listed on wine searcher. Any other vintage of that wine sells for $18 all day long, and free shipping if you look hard. Wine searcher shows it at $45 and $59?!? I sure hope nobody is paying that when they can get 3 bottles of the 2006 for the same price.

Unfortunately no one has probably tried the wine yet to know whether or not it's worth the hype. I snagged a few at around $30 when the review first came out.

2007 Quinta do Vallado, Reserva

Alright, now 1, so shoot me. I couldn't resist. At $37.25 net how could I resist?
