Some regional wines recommendation I want to try soon


Reading Conde Nast magazine, on the Spanish edition, they make some recommendations around some new winemakers (or not so new) but in some of Spain 's new regions and called "Vinos de Autor", term that qualifies for wine developed not based on the region but on the winemakers ideas and love

I am dying to try them, as some of them are also from some of the regions that I have learnt to love in the past 3 years while living in Spain. But don't expect to go cheap :-(
