\"Uruguay<\/a>Where do you find the world\u2019s best wine values?\u00a0 I think that depends on one\u2019s tastes and how adept a person is at ferreting out wines from relatively unknown viticultural areas.\u00a0\u00a0 It never ceases to amaze me how much good wine remains undiscovered and appreciated, simply because they hail from relatively obscure wine regions and undiscovered wineries and wines makers.\u00a0 Many of the world\u2019s good wines, even some of the world\u2019s great wines, flow from places not exactly on the tip of everyone\u2019s tongue.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take Uruguay for example.\u00a0 Yes, I do mean that tiny prosperous South American country with a stable democratic government, a temperate climate, and a centuries\u2019 old tradition of winemaking \u2013 all of which remain hidden from most wine lovers in North America.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Two reasons appear as culprits.\u00a0 First, the folks in Uruguay truly enjoy wine and drink most of what they make themselves and secondly, we in the U.S. tend to be mistrustful or at least oblivious to anything we haven\u2019t seen highly advertised or rated by a dozen or more critics, whom we tend to believe are more adept at determining our tastes than we are.<\/p>\n

Happily, Uruguay is no longer content to keep its best wines to itself.\u00a0 And Artesana, an ultra-premium producer from Uruguay, is another example of a very good wine producer from a relatively obscure locale.\u00a0 Artesana recently featured some of their estate wines at the International Wine Bloggers\u2019 Conference to considerable acclaim.\u00a0 Artesana\u2019s 2011 Tannat\/Merlot comes across as a crowd pleaser, though the winery\u2019s more traditional and tannic 2011Tannat (a French grape, which lends its name to the word tannin) shows well, too.\u00a0 And Artesana is just one of a growing number of producers of fine wines from Uruguay whose wares can now be found in the U.S.\u00a0 Artesana\u2019s wines are well worth seeking out.<\/p>\n

Cheers!
