The Pour
1
Penfolds Bin 8 Cabernet Shiraz
Full-bodied red🇦🇺 South Australia · Cabernet Sauvignon-Shiraz blend

Two grapes braided into one dark, structured red, like the pilgrims' tales folding into a single journey. Brooding enough to stand up to the Shrike waiting at the Time Tombs.

2
Château Musar Rouge
Full-bodied red🇱🇧 Bekaa Valley, Lebanon · Cabernet Sauvignon-Cinsault-Carignan blend

Wild, otherworldly and savory, it feels like a wine from a far-off world. Its aged, strange complexity fits a story about time folding in on itself.

The Mood

Seven pilgrims travel toward the Time Tombs, each telling a story that grows from space opera into horror, romance and grief. Simmons borrows Chaucer's structure and gives it cosmic scale and real emotional weight.
