The Pour
1
Nyetimber Classic Cuvée
Full-bodied white♡ West Sussex, England · Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Meunier

English sparkling: precise, chalky, and more serious than its bubbles suggest. It suits Tony's polished, very English surface. And the sharpness underneath.

2
Château Greysac Médoc
Full-bodied red🇫🇷 Médoc, Bordeaux, France · Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon blend

An affordable claret of the sort a retired Englishman would keep on hand: cedar, plum, and a little dried leaf. Like memory, it softens with time, but never quite loses its grip.

The Mood

A retired man's tidy memory of his school years unravels when an unexpected bequest arrives. A slim, Booker-winning study of how we edit our own pasts.
