Beach books + bevies: The Wheel of Time

Recently, I set myself the goal of reading ‘The Wheel of Time’ series. For those unfamiliar, it’s similar to The Lord of the Rings but way longer (literally 4.5 million words in its entirety). Light beach reading it is not, however now that I’ve finished Book 2, I’m hooked! I’ve decided I’ll pair Massolino Barolo with these books. Hear me out; a 2019 Barolo is young, though it is enjoyable now with aeration and a long decant. By the time I finish this series in 2026 or 2027, this wine will be SINGING. Even in its youth, this wine delivers sour cherry, rose petals, soft vanilla, and deep earth notes – with more years of development I’m expecting cigar box, tobacco, leather, game, and more.
