The Mortal Instruments & Apothic Wine

Six books, six wines. These books may be YA, but your weekend won't be. The Pairing(s) The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare and Apothic Wine Blends When I first saw Apothic wines a few years back, I remembered thinking it was a cool label and the name sounded Gothic. (A Gothic apothecary? A Gothic apocalypse? Didn't matter at the time.) However, having recently jumped on the Cassandra Clare bandwagon, I then saw these wines in a whole new light- the swirls on their labels suddenly looked like runes, and Apothic seemed to describe the world within our world that Shadowhunters, etc, inhabit. As luck would have it, there are plenty of these blends- and I've picked out one for each book of the series. Settle in, because we're touching on all of them. Pairing One City of Bones by Cassandra Clare and Apothic Brew This first book will introduce you to a new take on some old familiars: demons, angels, werewolves, etc... but also a race of Shadowhunter...

The Martian & Red Rock Reserve Merlot

I'm telling you, the book is better than the movie- and that's saying something in this case, because the movie was awesome . I haven't tried pairing the movie with this wine, but I'm open to the idea. The Pairing The Martian by Andy Weir and Red Rock Reserve Merlot Comedy meets science meets action/adventure.

It's an incredible feat of a book, which is why it is one of the last pairings of the year. Red Rock wines "embody the universal quest for discovery to reach the summit, no matter where that may be," whic...

A Game of Thrones & Girl and Dragon Cabernet Sauvignon

Welcome to the 52nd pairing of PageFiftyNine- which, in all honesty, is really the first pairing. A full calendar year ago, I saw a wine stain in one of my books and had a silly but meaningful thought: what if instead of pairing wine and cheese, I paired my two favorite things- wine and books? How many times had this combination been the highlight of my evening, or my afternoon, or my weekend? That little thought grew into a passion, which I hope will continue to grow in 2019. But, instead of looking forward in this post, I want to spend some time looking back. This journey has been incredible, so much so that picking out the highlights proved difficult. A few, though: - Pairing Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time and then learning of his passing a day and a half later. - My friend Garret risking life and limb to position my mountain-themed pairing on the edge of a cliff. - Creating a business plan only to realize starting a business costs more money than I can afford ...
