We’re excited to launch a new series, Everyday Wines, which focuses on wines that are easy to find, easy to drink and easy to enjoy. These are wines which deliver value and are perfect to share over a meal or at a virtual gathering with family and friends. Times have changed and we’re all looking for an affordable, everyday luxury.
And that’s where Carolyn Evans-Hammond comes in. Carolyn is a London-trained sommelier and best-selling author of Good Better Best Wines: A No-Nonsense Guide to Popular Wines. In each episode she’ll reveal a new wine which should be on your list. Most importantly, she’ll explain why.
We start with a Washington State Cabernet Sauvignon that has twice been named best in its category in her book. For those in the know, Washington State Cabs are an affordable alternative to Californian Cabs, offering both taste and value. Carolyn explains how this wine works on its own and offers three great snacks to pair it with.
Columbia Crest Grand Estates Cabernet Sauvignon is widely available and reasonably priced. It’s a great everyday wine.
