| I was reading the "What single wine do you have the most of?" thread that Winetex started and while I was searching CT, I started thinking what vineyard do I have the most of? So what is your current favorite vineyard and for what varietal? Mine would have to be Rosella's Vineyard for Pinot Noir. | | | |

| Mine is Caymus. Between the Caymus Cab and the Special Selection, my cellar contains around 50 bottles of each from the past 15 years. I hesitate to count how many I've drank in that time. I just consider myself a fan of Caymus!  | |

| | Dehlinger Estate - pinot noir, cabernet, syrah, and chardonnay - by a wide margin | |

| This was kind of surprising - CellarTracker is probably full of incorrect classifications
Is Ürziger Würzgarten a vineyard or an area? Beats me.
This is what CT says:
Ürziger Würzgarten
Rancia
Le Corton
Asili
Les Perrières

| | Interesting question and I'm not sure I have an accurate answer. According to CT, mine would be Rosella's and then Ritchie. But wines such as Bressler don't capture the "Vineyard" field. Knowing that the Bressler comes from a specific vineyard, I have to include that, and when I do, it takes second place. Not sure how many other wines fail to capture that field despite being single vineyard wines. | |

| | That is an interesting point, JimmyV. There are lots of wineries around here with estate fruit. Maybe CT needs someway to indicate this. | | | |

| | OK, this discussoin prompted me to go look. The clear winner is the Eisele vineyard - a perfect example of JimmyV's point. They just chose to retain that name and put it on the label. | | | |

| ...and to add to my earlier post: Assuming the Jones Family Cab comes from a single vineyard source, then you can bump that wine up to the top of the heap for me. | |

| | Jones Family Cabernet is an estate wine and has always come from the same vineyard (vineyard was expanded in size in the late nineties). | | | |
