Ditto
Some in large quantities, some single bottle only, especially as their prices have moved beyond my reach and private school fees are biting!
Regular buying: 5/50 and 1/20 I would always have a close look at.

35 and 15.

Still wondering what it means tho???

26/50 and 9/20 for me too.

Also 8/50 and 2/20 in magnums

Who said size doesn't matter?

For moi - 14/50 & 7/20

I'm not sure I need add to the growing list of impressive accomplishments in collecting on display here, other than to say I'm about average. Which makes me feel okay. Hohum.

I must say I wasn't surprised when I saw this poster / list as the brands are pretty much predictable, obviously reliable and deliver decent drinking year after year after year. I was rather surprised at the Wynns Shiraz being so collectible, though. My experience with this wine has been pretty ordinary, to be honest but I suppose as it has the brand attachment, it shouldn't surprise me.

I could've retired by now if it wasn't for this obsession...:>)

35 and 15. I'm a bit lacking in WA wines to be honest. Nothing I'll be adding to my regular buys but the Clonakilla isn't in my cellar and I've been wanting to try it for a while now. Have drunk almost everything else on the list at one time or another though.

Don't know why I ever wonder where all my money goes!

I love the list. I was surprised not to find a Chardonnay in the top 10 though. Maybe Yattarna should make it? I put a new poll on my site...please stop by and vote for your favorite Australian Chardonnay.

Thanks,

Chris

50 and 20 but not all at the same time.

None. Especially with what can be had for under $25 these days.

What would be interesting for me on the back of this (but that isn't really feasible), is what dominates the cellars here and is it really vastly different to this survey. I suspect that there are more boutique wines in their survey, yet they're lost in the volumes of the big names. Likewise if we combined all our wines, the interesting smaller volume wines get lost in the summation.

I do expect there to be some difference, but less than you might think.

Main stuff I have that isn't listed here are lots of the smaller winerys like Noons, Veritas, Greenock Creek, Wild Duck Creek that I'm on mailing lists for but also a lot of cheaper quaffing wine like Peter Lehmann cab and shiraz, older Koonunga Hill, the Jacob Creeks limited releases cab and shiraz. I keep most of these five years so even though they are quaffers, I'm still usually drinking them with some age. The other glaring omission is in the white area. Stuff like the Leo Burings, both the cheapies and Leonay, the Richmond Grove Watervale, Mount Pleasant Elizabeth, Tahbilk Marsanne, Cloudy Bay Sav Blanc. These are all usually annual case buys for me. The savs get drunk within the year usually but the rieslings and sems are mostly biding their time and take up reasonable real estate.

Hmmmmmm, maybe you've all missd the point. These are the top XX wines cellaraed by people that you don't know, and who's opinion you cannot rely on. Trust your judgement, and cellar what you'd like to go with.
