Mumm Napa Brut Prestige
Full-bodied white🇺🇸 Napa Valley, California, USA · Pinot Noir and Chardonnay
Crisp and polished, with a creamy mousse that suits the novel's 1930s society dinners. Like Iris's marriage, it looks perfect on the surface.
The Pour

Inniskillin Vidal Icewine
Crisp white♡ Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, Canada · Vidal Blanc
Made from grapes frozen on the vine in Atwood's home province, it is intense with apricot and honey, held up by sharp acidity. A sweetness that comes from hardship is what this book is about.
The Mood
An elderly woman in small-town Ontario looks back on her sister's death, her loveless society marriage, and a pulpy novel-within-a-novel. Atwood's Booker winner is a nesting doll of secrets.
