Andy Myers holds the bottle of Redskins Reserve Cab. The acclaimed sommelier says, “I would have a hot dog with that.” But he also gives the wine a good score for being “understated.” Next to him is CityZen general manager Jared Slipp, who calls it a wine “you can drink all day.” Photograph by Jeff Martin.
