I've never been a wine drinker -- hardly any white, and two or three bottles of random $15 Cotes du Rhone per year -- but have really started getting into more focused selections after I found a quality local wine store.
my problem so far is that natural wine is still niche in my area, while also being all-encompassing. anybody from anywhere can be making natural wine, so you really need to know exactly what you want or have expert guidance on the spot*.
-- so this is why I need help finding natural wines. nothing about this wine is labeled natural, but I guess if you know anything about French wines his dad was one of the OGs of reviving the natural wine movement. I just asked to try a good Beaujolais cru and was recommended this one. even though it was the most I've ever paid for a bottle ($37! I've spent high amounts on whisky but never wine), it still impressed the hell out of me.
-- this was in the same section as several pet-nat wines so I added it. it was fine, but I haven't tried a lot of Italian wines that I've loved. this is where it gets confusing for me, because it's labeled organic but may not necessarily be made in the natural style.
*I don't think Total Wine is that helpful, at least not the one nearest me. every time I ask for any suggestions and give them a price point and my bottle preferences, I get some off-the-wall rec that just conveniently has a 12-case display on the main floor.
