Books & Wine Pairing
Sanderia Faye, Sommelier
Every book has its own mood that also affects the reader’s emotions as he/she invests in the narrator’s journey. Many readers sip on a glass of wine while turning the pages of a good book. Wine has been paired with food since the beginning of time, but we don’t generally consider what wines would be appropriate for the book we’re reading. Sanderia Faye believes that wine should be paired with books similar to the way it is paired with a three-course meal and dessert. She asked renown authors to write about the mood for each section of their book, beginning middle and end. Then she used her expertise as a sommelier and author to pair a wine for each section of the book. She also suggests an “finishing” drink for when you contemplate or discuss the book with others. Take this book journey with Faye. Try the wines she has painstakingly suggested for you. She guarantees it will enhance your reading pleasure.

Mourner’s Bench tells the story of brave, bold women who led the civil rights movement in the Arkansas Delta. Set in 1964, the story unfolds from the perspective of eight-year-old Sarah White, a serious child who feels ready to get baptized, but increasingly finds herself torn between the traditions of her community and her church and her mother’s progressive and feminist views. When the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee comes to town, the reverend considers them “the evil among us,” while Sarah’s mother and her friends seem determined to push the town toward integration. With vibrant characters and setting, Mourner’s Bench explores the conflict between progress and tradition as Sarah navigates her place in her family and community.
