A Critic's Guide to the Best Wines to Open for Friends
Briefly

The right wine can elevate any gathering from good to unforgettable, helping to connect friends and spark engaging conversations that create lasting memories.
For a relaxed evening, a versatile wine can set the tone, while formal gatherings call for thoughtful pairings to keep conversations flowing.
