    “Dark academia MURDER story! I think everyone remembers the first time they read The Secret History...it's one of those books that you are envious that others have not yet read. It’s got fashion, intellectual banter, fabulous wealth, imposter syndrome…..you name it. Not a story about state schools. ;)”

    “A cult classic book about pretentious college kids obsessed with Greek philosophy (and Dionysus) who spiral into darkness pairs perfectly with a cult classic Greek grape called Xinomavro, which literally means "acid-black" and tastes brooding, earthy, and moody with dried cherry, thyme, and leather notes from two brothers in Macedonia who make organic, biodynamic wine.”
