Checking my Stats

When I was thinking about splurging on wine, I also started wondering about my overall drinking habits. I know what I've been drinking lately, but what about over the past two years? I understand that the stats can be misleading - if I went through a case of one particular wine because I got a great deal, well that will skew things. But if I look at the top 10 producers, red and white, it should be interesting to see the trends and a random case should be seen for what it is.

White Wine:

Domaine du Closel, Savennieres - 20 bottles
Domaine de la Pepiere, Muscadet - 14 bottles
François Cazin, Cheverny & Cour-Cheverny - 10 bottles
Domaine des Cassagnoles, Vin de Pays des Côtes de Gascogne - 9 bottles
Domaine des Aubuisieres, Vouvray - 7 bottles
Le Bourcier, Mâconnais - 6 bottles
François Chidaine, Montlouis sur Loire - 6 bottles
i Clivi, Friuli - 6 bottles
Jean Manciat, Mâconnais - 6 bottles
Domaine du Salvard, Cheverny - 6 bottles

As expected, mostly Loire Valley wines. Nothing too random here, except for maybe the Cassagnoles. That was last summer's value special, and I drank a lot of it. I like the fact that I drink almost a bottle a month of Closel Savennieres. And I didn't realize that I've gone through a half case of i Clivi wine - I grabbed a few of the 1999's a while ago and have been drinking them steadily. Aside from Baumard and Foreau, this is actually somewhat representative of what I have sleeping in the cellar too.

Red Wine:

St Innocent, Oregon - 20 bottles
Adelsheim, Oregon - 14 bottles
Bernard Baudry, Chinon - 11 bottles
Clos de Tue-Boeuf - 11 bottles
Domaine du Vissoux, Beaujolais - 11 bottles
Montevertine, Tuscany - 11 bottles
Domaine des Roches Neuves, Saumur-Champigny - 11 bottles
Château du Hureau, Saumur-Champigny - 10 bottles
Domaine Voillot, Volnay - 10 bottles
Terres Dorées, Beaujolais - 9 bottles

The high numbers on St Innocent and Adelsheim represent me "cleaning out" my cellar. Not that I don't enjoy the wines, because I definitely do. But I decided that I wanted to devote my limited space to aging other wines. I still have wines by these producers sleeping, but not as many as I used to.

Montevertine - who knew? I didn't realize I drank so much Pian del Ciampolo over the past few years, but the wine is always so tasty. And the Voillot was mostly the 2004 Vielle Vignes, a delicious wine. I went through a half case of that alone. The rest makes sense, Loire reds and Beaujolais all the way.

It will be interesting to do this again in two years. What about you, have you checked your stats like this? What is your modal drinking wine over the past two years?
