Region that you believe deserves a bit more play this year?
Napa. Though that is happening. The funny thing is that through journalism (and the work of allied and analogous wine directors and sommeliers), there is now a new hipster-establishment to mirror the old establishment. Producers like Ryme, Donkey & Goat, Matthiasson, Arnot-Roberts, Scholium are tiny brands, but they're becoming ubiquitous in a very precisely-defined world. But the region that really deserves much more play?

Five Strange Sparklers For Christmas - Drink of the Week
Five Strange Sparklers For Christmas - Drink of the Week
Barbolini “Lancillotto” Lambrusca Grasparossa di Castelvetro 2010 Secco (Italy) — Other than Gruner Veltliner, my other current wine obsession is Lambrusca, which is a sparkling wine out of the Emilie-Romagna region of Italy. Lambrusca is the only grape native to Europe that is used to make wine (the rest making its way from the area around current day Georgia). Lambrusca can be bone dry to sweet. I would recommend this Barbolini, which is dry but an off-dry would work well too. This wine has great bubbles with fresh red and black fruit flavors.
