Bisou Au Revoir
Includes 'Big Kiss Bye-Bye' by Claire-Louise Bennett, Ori Marani ‘Revoir au Printemps'
This book is difficult to talk about because it's difficult to summarize—though, coming from the land of Plotless Fiction, we wonder why would anyone ever be motivated to do that—because it's difficult to hold all at once in one’s head, prone as the woman writer-narrator-notebook-keep. . .

(That's what the wine is for, here a savoury Georgian winter rosé.)

Bastien Warskotte came from a winegrowing family in Champagne and worked at wineries around the world—including Nova Scotia’s very own Benjamin Bridge!—before falling in love with his now-wife Nino Gvantseladze and starting Ori Marani in 2016. Focusing on regional varietals fermented in traditional clay amphora qvevri, their wines not only speak to the 8000-year legacy of Georgian winemaking but the new wave of winemakers putting Georgia on the map. Each grape is vinified separately in qvevri and old French oak with a portion done semi-carbonically, then blended with additional aging and lightly filtered with no fining and a touch of sulphur. Bastien calls this “a wink to better days that come after winter,” the first gasps of spring after a long winter, somehow bottled into an herby and singular rosé! Almost like a savoury, botanical Provence-style rosé with benefits – hibiscus, corn husks, cranberry-infused water, tangy rhubarb, dusty white florals & bitter lemon pith with a whiff of ginger & shaved button mushrooms. Put a chill on it, drink during golden hour, ride off into the sunset & have the happiest ending!
