Thought it would be fun to post my most recent wine purchases from time to time here on the blog. This list does not include the bottles I buy for consumption right away. These are wines that I'll maybe try one of and then put them in the cellar.
First, here is a list of what regions that currently are most represented in my cellar (% of total bottles)
- Piedmont - 22%
- Germany - 16%
- Burgundy - 15%
- Northern Rhone - 15%
So, my top 4 regions represent almost 70% of all my bottles. Would I like to see this list change forward? Yes. First of all, I would like to see more Burgundy in my basement. I'm a bit concerned about buying the whites from Burgundy because of the premox ghost, but I definetely need more of the reds. Secondly I would like some more bottles of Bordeaux and Cali Cabs.
I guess my recent purchases should reflect these wished, but they don't. My most recent wines purchased are:
- 2007 Bartolo Mascarello Barolo (4 btls)
- 2010 Taupenot-Merme Nuit-St.-Georges 1er Cru Les Pruliers (4 btls)
- 2011 Riffault Sancerre Les Chailloux Silex (4 btls)
Thankfully, these recent purchases tell me only one thing. I need to buy more wine, since these ones do not match my wish of more Bordeaux and Cabs from California.
