Book + Bottle: Sunday, June 28th

We’re excited for our partnership with our friends at Norwich Bookstore! Each month, Book + a Bottle brings together both familiar and new faces for lively conversation, thoughtful reads, and wines chosen to complement the story just as much as the discussion. Our book for June is Mutual Interest by Olivia Wolfgang-Smith. This sharp, witty novel follows Vivian Lesperance and an unconventional trio as they build a soap empire in turn-of-the-century New York. Through secret romances and high-society ambitions, the story explores what it costs to live authentically while navigating the rigid social codes and power plays of the era. To pair with the book, we’ve chosen the Chateau Thivin Beaujolais Rosé. Much like the novel’s mix of polished settings and hidden lives, this wine is both sophisticated and lively. It offers a crisp, clean finish with bright notes of wild strawberry—a refreshing choice for a story about ambition, secrets, and the bonds we choose. Your Book + a Bottle pre-order includes: A copy of the bookOne curated bottle of wineAn invitation to our guided group discussion Choose from three discussion dates: Tuesday, June 23rd, or Thursday, June 25th, from 6:30–7:30 PMor Sunday, June 28th from 4:30–5:30 PM Please be sure to select your date at checkout.
