Read and Sip: Book and Wine Pairings

Forget going out.  We’re in our “stay in and read” era, but with a good glass of wine.  Does what you’re reading influence what you should pour in your glass?  We always recommend drinking what you love, but if you’re looking for book and wine pairings we can help. 

Book and Wine Pairings

A cozy evening home alone with a good book or your monthly book club both call for a good glass of wine.  Here are our recommended book and wine pairings based on what you’re reading:

Romance: When it comes to love, there’s only one choice - a delightful Rosé.  Sh!tshow Rosé offers flavor that is flirtatious and unexpected, just like your male main character.

Biographies:  Reading about someone’s life story can be fascinating.   The flavors of Grovedale Red will mirror the history you’re reading about.  The balance of sweetness and complexity will be the perfect complement to the biography.

Classics:  When looking for a book and wine pairing for a classic novel, we recommend a refined Merlot to sip while you read.  Your literary choice and wine selection will both be timeless and elegant.

Mystery and Suspense: This may be an unexpected choice, but when you’re spending time with a mystery or suspense novel, we suggest lightening up the mood with a glass of our Optimism Bright Side.  Things may not be looking bright for your protagonist, but they can be for you with a refreshing glass of wine.

Fantasy and Sci-Fi: If you’re asking yourself “What wine would a dragon rider drink?” We can help.  The flavors of our Riesling will captivate your senses, much like the fairies and alternate worlds you’re reading about.
