The Pour
1
Inniskillin Vidal Icewine
Crisp white♡ Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, Canada · Vidal Blanc

Made from grapes frozen on the vine, it turns brutal cold into honeyed apricot sweetness. A fitting tribute to Martha Ballard's resilience through a merciless winter.

Fonseca Bin 27 Ruby Port
Fortified red🇵🇹 Douro, Portugal · Touriga Nacional blend

A rich, warming port you can grab at nearly any wine shop, the kind of fortified comfort a 1700s household kept by the fire. Dark plum and cocoa to sip while the river groans outside.

The Mood

A frontier midwife in 1789 Maine investigates a body found in the ice while the town's powerful men close ranks. A wintry mystery with a fierce, warm heart.
