Nowadays I mostly drink wine made by people I have met through tastings and writing about food and drink. Sometimes it could be a larger family owned winery that has sustainability cred (such as de Bortoli in Australia. Mostly it is from smaller producers who use minimal intervention techniques - now I live in South Africa - from the Western Cape.
