Louis Jadot Beaujolais-Villages
Light red🇫🇷 Beaujolais, Burgundy, France · Gamay
Light on its feet and silky, with a red-fruited charm that hides how much tension sits underneath. A wine of surface elegance, like the tea tables in the novel.
The Pour
2
Meiomi Pinot Noir
Light red🇺🇸 California, USA · Pinot Noir
Soft, jammy and widely available, with a sweet-then-bitter finish that echoes the book's slow turn from allure to unease.
The Mood
Two light-skinned Black women in 1920s Harlem meet again, one living as white, and their fraught friendship tightens into jealousy and dread. Short, polished and devastating.
