As a sommelier, I think more people should know about underrated wine destinations.
Instead of only looking into Tuscany, consider visiting Lazio on your next trip to Italy.
Valle de Guadalupe in Mexico and Tokaj in Hungary are often overlooked but have great wine.

I first delved into wine while studying in Australia. I ventured to wineries in the Adelaide Hills and the Barossa Valley, and the wines I sampled were a far cry from Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill and $6 Californian "champagne."
