Crisp white🇳🇿 Marlborough, New Zealand · Sauvignon Blanc
Named for a bay Cook himself charted, it is bracing, saline and full of sea air. A widely available bottle that tastes like the Pacific he mapped.

Blandy's 10 Year Old Malmsey Madeira
Fortified red🇵🇹 Madeira, Portugal · Malmsey
Madeira was the wine that crossed oceans in ships' holds and came back better for it. Rich, burnt-caramel and nearly indestructible, it suits a voyage that no one returns from unchanged.
The Mood
Captain James Cook's fatal third voyage, told as high adventure and hard reckoning with empire. From the ice of the Arctic to the shore at Kealakekua Bay, Sides makes history read like a gale.
