Have you ever had a wine from Moldova? Do you even know where Moldova is? The landlocked, former Soviet-bloc nation is located between Romania to its west and Ukraine to its north, east and south. Decades ago, Moldova was known within the Soviet Union for making that country’s best wine. In the past few years, several new, privately owned wineries have opened up and raised the bar; the best of these offer overnights with lavish meals and tastings.
Moldova has the greatest density of vineyards in the world, cultivates indigenous varietals like Feteasca Alba, Feteasca Neagra, Rara Neagra, Traminer, and Saperavi.

6. Chateau Vartely Tarabostes Red Blend $24.99
Taraboste was the name given by the Romans to the Geto-Dacian Aristocrats. Chateau Vartely chose this name in order to illustrate the original nobility of the wine.
