#7 The Last Of Us & Beaujolais Villages

---

In 2003, the Cordyceps outbreak spread around the world. While the United States government attempted to organize the last of humankind, a man named Bill chose to stay behind, making the most of his desolate small town.

As the years went by, a lone survivor by the name of Frank approached the town. At first glance, Bill made a deal with the stranger. A meal. A shower. Fresh clothes. And then Frank was to move on.

But with the delicate pour from a spare bottle of Beaujolais Villages, Frank wound up staying a long, long time. What seems like a trivial moment initially later turned into a bookended act of pure poetry. As a result, The Last of Us showrunners showed how to perfectly intertwine a French wine brand with its most heartfelt story.
