We’re both making some serious headway with our reading goals this year! Be honest: is there a better afternoon than sipping wine outside with a good book anyway?! When we were last together in Florida, we opened a bottle of Smith & Hook Central Coast Cabernet Sauvignon ($19) to enjoy with the family on the deck.
The head winemaker at Smith & Hook is Megan McCollough, who has been with the team since 2011. You know how much we love a female winemaker!! She works with small winegrowers along the Central Coast – in Arroyo Seco, Paso Robles, San Antonio Valley, Hames Valley & San Benito – to produce robust, richly layered wines.
This particular Cab Sauv has some cranberry and blackberry notes, with a touch of oak on the silky finish. Perfect with a novel that gets deep inside the main characters’ psyches!
Be sure to check out some of our past book and wine pairs including:
- Malagousia + The House in the Cerulean Sea
- Lambrusco + Like a House on Fire
- Chardonnay + We Are Not Like Them
- Pét-Nat + You Had Me at Pét-Nat
- Riesling + Such a Fun Age
What’s the last great wine and book pairing you enjoyed?
