We Asked 20 Sommeliers: Which Wine Do You Wish People Ordered More? (2024)
Briefly

"Cabernet Franc! The mother of Cabernet Sauvignon is so complex, floral, fruity, and delicious. It has beautiful deep red and black fruit aromas, complemented with floral and bell pepper. Its higher acidity allows it to pair with many dishes. But, like all mothers, it's happy to let her child steal the spotlight. Let's give this mother some more recognition!" -Beth Bornstein, wine expert, ZiZi Wine Bars, NYC
"I feel like Merlot has gotten lost in the great red wine debate in recent years. It's not fair to the varietal's history, being one of the noble grapes of Bordeaux and having so much complexity and versatility that often gets overlooked. Rediscover Merlot! It can surprise enthusiasts with its depth and ability to pair with a variety of cuisines." -Anonymous Sommelier.
