The Best Wines to Drink Right Now—Read Our 2024 Wine Issue to Find Out

Wine is an art and aesthetic pursuit as much as it is a beverage. From the graceful slope of the shoulders of wine bottles, to the paintings, watercolors, and beautiful graphic designs that grace so many labels, to the interior design and architectural considerations of the best wineries and tasting rooms, wine is a visual and sensory product even before you talk about what’s inside the bottle and poured into the glass. And the juice itself: it’s a multisensory, moving amalgam of color, aroma, and taste. It is all of this that we celebrate in this issue devoted to our annual Sunset International Wine Competition. See the top winners of this year’s competition here.

Below in our 2024 wine issue, you’ll find tips on where to travel and taste, and what to cook to go with whatever bottlings you choose to grace your cellar or table. From the mid-century splendor of Ashes & Diamonds’ L.A. clubhouse to the well-designed tasting rooms and stunning wine growing regions of the West, you’ll find beauty at the center of it all. And to that, and to all the winners of the annual wine competition, we raise a glass.
