Where the Bite Is

BEST REDS • Red wine is undergoing a serious renaissance in the American Epicurean scene. No longer is it strictly relegated to stuffy candlelit dinners, because younger and more adventurous wine aficionados are now pairing eminently drinkable reds with their favorite culinary endeavors. These reds are also being enjoyed solo at cocktail hour, or on a leisurely sunset cruise after a day offshore. Here are a handful of our favorites from Napa Valley that are sure to please.
