The Pour
1
Tantalus Old Vines Riesling
Aromatic white♡ Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, Canada · Riesling

A laser-cut, glacial Riesling from British Columbia, as clear and cold as the hotel's windows over the dark water. Its piercing acidity has the ache of Vincent's shifting realities.

2
Mumm Napa Brut Prestige
Full-bodied white🇺🇸 Napa Valley, California, USA · Chardonnay-Pinot Noir blend

Bright, toasty and a little too easy to keep pouring, it is a fine sparkler for the kingdom of money. Enjoy it the way Vincent enjoys her borrowed life, knowing the bubbles won't last forever.

The Mood

A remote hotel on Vancouver Island, a Ponzi scheme in Manhattan and the ghosts that link them. Mandel's novel is about illusory wealth and the lives that shatter when it vanishes.
