Need some advice from the wine geeks on SF.
I am no expert when it comes to wine, but I know what I like. The problem is, I live in China, where European and American (North and South) tends to be very expensive. The best deals, by far, are from Australia and New Zealand, and I know next to nothing about those countries.
My taste leans towards Champagne, white Burgundies, and reds from Tuscany and the Veneto. Chablis and Amarone are my go-to. I dislike over-oaked, super buttery chardonnays and big red fruit-bombs -- both of which I associate with Aus/NZ. I know there is good wine from these places, but need advice on what to look for.
Any advice on varietals, regions, vineyards or producers?

, although you need to like big flavoured reds.
