Who needs dating apps when fiction is the original role play? Gender, sex, love, self-loathing and loneliness. Enjoy this devastating novel with a devastatingly delicious Syrah Riesling co-ferment from BC whizz kids Scout.

This book is difficult to talk about because it's difficult to summarize because it's difficult to hold all at once in one’s head, prone as the woman writer-narrator-notebook-keeper is to bobbing and blurring and slurring and editing and repeating herself and dodging the frame and, more than any of all that, this book puts you in a curious mood: feral, philosophical, planetary, beyond the world but also caught in its throat. (That's what the wine is for, here a savoury Georgian winter rosé.)

For the person who understands that seasoning. is. everything! A salty Canary Islands white with the cutest oyster ornament we’ve ever seen from our friends at Baa Baazaar & a fancy tiny of Sardines from Galicia, Spain’s misty and cool northwest.
