Summer is grilling season, and for many Americans grilling is done with a drink in hand. When the beverage of choice is wine, Sommelier Carolyn Evans Hammond, author of Good, Better, Best Wines, helps navigate the seemingly complex process of selecting affordable wine to pair with the mouth-watering dishes seared with grill marks. Hammond’s wine recommendations are consistently flavored, sold locally, and all under $15 a bottle.
Hammond is available to discuss:
-Brawny reds wines that complement the smoky caramelized juices caught in the grill marks of favorite red meats
-White wines to pair with each grilled course from bacon-wrapped scallops to grilled pineapple rings
-How to quickly identify wines that pair well with the menu while pleasing the crowd and the pocketbook
-Why color doesn’t matter, debunking the myth of only serving white wine with fish with the reds that will work and those that don’t
Evans Hammond offers tips and the know-how to bring out the spectrum of flavors in every meal for under $5, $7, $11 and $15 a bottle.
