    Loire Valley. I know I’m not suppose to talk about it. Don’t want to raise the prices.

    For me most underrated is Provence.
    Not for Rose, but for White and Red, there are top class reds that compete with Rhone but at a much lower cost. white wine, especially Rolle (Vermentino) is amazingly complex, balanced and flowery at very very affordable costs

    Greece; Assyrtiko, Xinomavro and Agiorgitiko are all underrated varietals.

    Toro region of Spain as everyone talks ribuero or rjoja but in my experience these are unbelievable.

    Saint Pourcain sur Sioule. One of the oldest wine-regions in the world. I’m sold to the Tressalier-grape. It’s located in the the Auvergne department Allier but when you talk to the farmers they see themself as a part of the Loire. I had some really great Chardonnays to.
    Second choice: Sancerre.

    Naoussa. It’s not delineated the way Barolo, Burgundy, or Barbaresco are, but it outs out amazing wines of distinction and I can’t wait to see what else it does

    Alsace. They are getting hard to find in my area.

    Bierzo, Spain. Incredible mencia-based reds are being made there, and a recent restructuring has codified a system not unlike Burgundy’s that emphasizes single-site crus while not compromising the village- and even regional-level stuff that consistently drink above their price point. Despite all that, for Spanish wine, it seems only Rioja and Ribera del Duero can maintain any kind of traction.

    Hemel en Aarde, South Africa.
    But promise to keep this to yourself 😉

    Switzerland romandie – traditions as old as in burgundy or other regions, but literally no one talks about it. Plenty of varieties that are grown only there, styles from warmer Geneva to cooler slopes in Valais.
