Who's taking more spaces
Who is your Port/wine producers that is accounting for the most places in your cellar and why?
For me, obviously it is Niepoort and most of the bottles where brought back from Portugal unfortunately. Mainly because he is making good wines and Port and I like to drink both. It is taking roughly 7% of my cellar space.
And you?

Fred,
Good question and like you, mine is Niepoort also. I love his VP's, and especially his Colheita's and dry wines. Niepoort is by far what I have the most of in my cellar and makes up about 15% of cellar space.

At the moment it is Offley (17 btls of the 2003 Vintage + 2x 30 YOT) followed by Fonseca (a case of 2001 [wedding anniversary] that was picked up on discount.)
I am waiting to make a fairly serious move on a further couple cases of 2003 as it is my son's birth year (first child) so these producers could change fairly soon.
If I had unlimited cash (reasonable, aside from NNs) I would probably be most stocked with:
Taylor, Fonseca, Noval and Grahams.
Hey, maybe THAT would make a good threadtoo...

Richard,
It is great to have you back with us, but I hoped that Port season would give you a chance to return to our midst. Let me know if you come up to visit Nancy this winter!
I am still not positive which producer I have the most of. I guess if Nacional is included as Noval that would then be my #1, otherwise it would have to be Taylor and Fonseca.
For Madeira there is no question that it is D'Oliveiras significantly ahead of Barbeito although I love both.
