How many US Cabernet Sauvignon producers are represented in your cellar?

About 18 with roughly 150 bottles

Yes, a couple here & there to try. The last was Cameron Hughes Lot 599 and Lot 600. Waiting on MacDonald’s release, picked up some Myriad due to the generosity of a forum member willing to split their allocation, and put a few bottles of Maybach in the cellar a short while back.

Same here - sold or traded all my HSS because it was worth more to others than to me. I found I like their Napa / One Point Five better. You can get 3 or 4 bottles of that for the price of one bottle of HSS from a good vintage.

Mostly buying 3 to 6 bottles from the same handful of producers each decent vintage - Shafer, Chappellet, JEC, etc. Nothing like the quantity I used to buy.

58

Is this information actually helpful?

Just as helpful as the threads on the amount of different Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Tuscany producers is.

it’s at least fun to compare and ponder.

One. Corison.

I thought we were here for friendly intercourse and a nice chat.

Maybe not earth -shattering important, but I find it interesting.

Ugly 1980s style label but great wine. Its a wine I too think of cellaring. Great stuff and not crazy priced fro what it is. The label sure is ugly though :slight_smile:

Its helping my overall post count :wink:

Agreed. As an aside, she strikes me as a thoughtful winemaker. As her Delectable feed attests, she drinks widely and eclectically across regions and varieties – that vinous cosmopolitanism informs her Napa work imho.

14, essentially the same as Burgundy and Tuscany and a bit below Bordeaux

Is that part of your balancing strategy?

damn Mike!!!

Only Dominus

Yes, it has helped to limit producers a bit as I balance things out.

About a dozen at this point…

I haven’t had a Corison any newer than the 2001 vintage. Any major changes to the style? I remember liking her stuff quite a bit.

16 and shrinking
