Thirsty work: smashable reds, skin-contact whites, ciders, beers

So: what will we be drinking this year? As the last hangover of 2015 fades, it’s time for me to make some predictions. We’ll be drinking more very young red wines. A decade ago, it was unusual to see reds hit the bottleshop shelves in the same year they were harvested, but in the past few months I’ve slurped my way through dozens of crunchy, juicy, smashable 2015 vintage pinots and grenaches and gamays and shirazes.
