Here at Bright Cellars we like tasting new, interesting wines, but we also have our favorites we reach for no matter the occasion or season. Which got us thinking: What's your go-to red wine? When we asked around the office most people said it is between Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Noir. Who can blame them for thinking that? Those are some of the best known grape varietals in the world.
