Decoy Merlot
Wine🇺🇸 Sonoma County, California, USA · Merlot
Plush and perfumed on the surface, with a firmer, darker core. Fitting, since in Lotto and Mathilde's marriage the first story you hear is never the whole one.
The Pour

Egly-Ouriet Brut Tradition Grand Cru
Light red🇫🇷 Ambonnay, Champagne, France · Pinot Noir
Vinous and celebratory, with a darker, savory undertow. A toast to a marriage that sparkled and concealed in equal measure.
The Mood
A marriage told twice, first in golden myth and then in the hidden truth behind it. Lush, theatrical prose turns domestic love into something close to tragedy.
