Totally agree with you, didn't know you were also a wine fan. In Italy I would drink "Andrea Occhipinti" and other natural radical stuff all day long... here in the states their bottles are around 25 USD, but in Italy they are way cheaper, and the work of artists.
French wine can be found among the same lines, just have to check less 'popcorn' regions, like Jura, Beaujolais, Loire and Languedoc.
In short, the price of a wine, is not correlated to it's quality most of the time. Like the cover of a book is not correlated with what's written in it. The most exciting wines being made today, the most radical guys, in search of true terroir, are making wines that are not that expensive.
PS: Gallo's wines are shit, avoid those chemical bombs.
- antirez 11y agoTotally agree with you, since you mentioned Occhipinti, there is another Occhipinti in Sicily making natural wines which is worth to check, "Arianna Occhipinti": http://www.agricolaocchipinti.it/ http://www.agricolaocchipinti.it/ (sorry terrible site). I've mixed feelings about natural wines since they are of very mixed quality... but those ones are fine IMHO.
- MrGando 11y agoHahaha, I quickly googled for Occhipinti and found Andrea. I totally meant Arianna! Super nice stuff. A beautiful italian wine in a similar style is "Vino di Anna, Palmento", give that one a try if you can, also natura. :) Cheers!!
