E. Guigal Crozes-Hermitage
Full-bodied red🇫🇷 Northern Rhone, France · Syrah
Peppery, smoky and a little feral, a cool-climate Syrah with a bitter edge. It fits X-ville's grim New England winter and Eileen's own sour, unforgettable voice.
The Pour

Vietti Perbacco Langhe Nebbiolo
Medium-bodied red🇮🇹 Piedmont, Italy · Nebbiolo
Tar, dried rose and firm tannin for a heroine who is faded and fierce at once. It opens slowly, rewarding patience the way the novel's dread builds toward Christmas.
The Mood
A lonely young woman in 1960s New England curdles in her father's gin-reeking house until a glamorous stranger arrives. Squalid, hypnotic, and oddly tender in its cruelty.
