Found under W.S. Merwin and Paula Merwin’s home: empty bottles of 1962 Château des Moines, Lalande de Pomerol. This was a place of solitude and stillness, but of conviviality as well!
In these early months of stewarding the Merwins’ house, we are making discoveries that surprise and delight us, and quite often move us deeply. As we go, we’ll share some of these finds with you in a new series called “Storied Objects.” To view other posts in the “Storied Objects” series, click here.

Bet every bottle holds a fascinant et charmant story!
At the end of a day a glass of wine makes the evening a celebration. And the bottle is never trash. Under the house is a good place to place it. When glass ages the surface loses its hard gloss and becomes softly iridescent.
