Dying to visit Croatia and explore the Croatian wine regions... they have been making wine a LOT longer than any Yank.

Take Lake Tahoe and plop it in the middle of Napa Valley but add people from BC and you have the Oakanagan. Great diveristiy, food and wine... Also home to an Ironman, what's not to like?

This place is so legit! The Pinot noir from Otago is amazing and the Chardonnay and Pinot Gris and is pretty special as well. Stock your cellar now, there is not a lot of planted acres in this region and when the world finds out it will be gone.

Pretty spectacular place for Syrah and Viognier, but the people make the place.

Rioja is where you go to get your Tempranillo on! I need to go do some research.

Home to many small wine regions stretching from the south of Burgundy to Porvance along the Rhone River, most noteably Chateauneuf du pape.

Kind of the perfect little hill town. Amazing wine region, too!

Want to go back to Italy someday and visit Tuscany!

Can't believe I haven't been here!

Maybe the best kept seceret in France as far as wine goes. Lots of bulk juice comes out of this region but there are many many boutique producers doing some cool shit here.

Beaune is the heart of Burgundy, and a Pinot noir fan must. I had the opportunity to have Boeuf Bourguignon with a nice Burgundy and it was magical, I definately need to get back and explore one of the most confusing and exceptional wine regions in the world.

St. Emilion is awesome but I need to visit some of the left bank regions as well.

Justin Smith of Saxuum fame is the consulting winemaker here and the wines are killer. These guys are kinda the cool new kids on the block and doing a good job.

Best known for Port the Douro is starting to get recognized for the dry red wines they are producing at crazy values.
