As with others, a list that likely changes daily...
Lopez de Heredia-just love their devotion to producing classic rioja and their wines love em or hate em are always fascinating experiences.
Musar- Again love the devotion and passion to make such beautiful wine in such a politically turbulent part of the World. Wines are stunningly complex and unique.
Clape, Cornas-Have not had tons of these but was just stunned by a bottle last week that got him on my list. Wild and changing in the glass with amazing freshness...just stunning.
Descombes-As many others have said, huge depth. love the savory character most of his wines bring to compliment the fruit.
Roagna-Mostly as I have to include something from N italy and have more experience with these than others. Classic in style and great value in Barbaresco.
Wish I had more experience with tracking producers from year to year in Burg. and Champagne to include some more but thats it for now
