Surprisingly cheap, but there are a lot of producers hidden around the
world that have a stunning product, yet virtually unknown in the USA. My
favorites are the wines from some of the islands in Greece, where the
vineyards can be 2,500 years old and soil very alkaline, poor but
containing mineral and herb accents. The white wines from Samos and
Ikaria come to mind, and more often found in this country, from
Santorini and Kriti.
