| Saw this thread on the Parker board and thought it was interesting. Our results are not surprising in that we drink a lot of our "house champagnes" and few bottles of any one wine.
Producers with multiple wines like Aubert were further down.
1. N.V. Diebolt-Vallois Champagne Cuvée Prestige 2. N.V. Margaine Champagne Brut 1er Cru 3. N.V. Launois Pere et Fils Champagne Mesnil Quartz Brut Blanc de Blancs Grand Cru 4. N.V. Billecart-Salmon Champagne Brut Rosé 5. N.V. Krug Champagne Grande Cuvée
and one red wine 1998 Bruno Giacosa Barbaresco
********** By producer is a different story:
Peay Vineyards Bruno Giacosa Diebolt-Vallois Kosta Browne Launois Pere et Fils

| Tough question...I really like to mix it up on a nightly basis. But one wine I always drink a lot of (especially with "regular" people who aren't obsessed like me):
2004 + 2005 Torbreck Woodcutters Shiraz
I buy a few cases of this every year. I just love Torbreck wines and the 2005 Woodcutters is still a "wow," especially for the price. This is one time I thought RP's review was right on the money. | | | |

| Personally, 05 Magniens especially the Vosne Romanee Brulees For my household, Peay whites especially the Chardonnay (all of the Chard is gone and just a few bottles of the Rhones from any vintage are left - looking forward to Peay's release next Spring) | | | |

... I haven't really drank much this year. Bought a good amount earlier in the year, just haven't had the time to drink any of it.
Maybe that will be a good thing a few years from now. | | | |

| By a far margin, I worked hard on drinking my Kistler population this year. They seemed to have multiplied like rabbits in my cellar. | | | |
