Burgundy

No single wine region fascinates and befuddles more industry professionals as their cutting their teeth in the business. The single vineyard plots, hillside soil types, and varying expressions of the best Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in the world have driven prices into the stratosphere for many of the best offerings, but there are still tremendous values to be had under $30 if you’re willing to look. More than any other region, buying Burgundy is best when you develop a trusting relationship with your local wine steward.
