Master sommelier Carlton McCoy shares his most memorable drinks

Written by Jacqui Palumbo, CNNThe CNN Originals show “Nomad with Carlton McCoy” premieres this Sunday, May 1 at 10pm ET. Carlton McCoy’s favorite ritual is one as old as human memory: Share a meal and a drink to more intimately understand a person or a place. That exercise is the framework of the master sommelier’s latest endeavor — the CNN Original Series “Nomad” — in which McCoy explores what he calls the “pillars of culture” through the lesser-seen sides of different destinations, including Seoul, Paris and his home city of Washington, DC.
