David, seems 26.8% of our wines in common are German. I'm surprised it's that high- not because I don't know we like a lot of the same producers, but because German producers make so many bottlings that it reduces chances of commonality.

I think that's pretty predictable. US wines beloved by people with Eurocentric tastes who participate on wine boards is a comparatively narrow field, so if you had me take guesses at what US wines would be in your cellar ESJ and Ridge would certainly be in first few guesses. While in Europe I wouldnt be able to guess whether you were more a NSG or Volnay guy (and then if you favored Montille, Angerville, Lafarge, Voillot, various Boillots, PdO, ChB, etc, and then Champans or Taillepieds or....)
And we all have probably met Jim C or at least conversed (and very limited number of bottlings released there).

Interesting (thought not terribly surprising) that though we both live in Washington, we have only three WA wines in common. The rest are Bordeaux, three vintages of Fonseca ports, and a few Rhones.
Speaking of Kevin Bacon, only one degree here. His long-time assistant was my next door neighbor growing up.
Funny number thing. With David, when I do wines in common, at top (narrow results) it says 112 wines. But in summary at bottom it says 328 bottles in 109 wines. Any ideas for discrepancy?
Sorry, Jenise, Bacon numbers only count credited film appearances!
