What we’re about
Welcome to our Eclectic Wine and Cheese Book Club Meetup!
Do you like the idea of being a part of a community of open-hearted people (who are very real and sometimes forget to read the book)?
Our book club started so we could connect with others who have an appreciation for books that are absurd, sublime, life-changing, side-splitting, exotic, erotic, terrifying, thoughtful, heart-pounding, and far flung. We also happen to blend our love for literature with a little wine and cheese during our meet ups!
Whether you are a connoisseur or a beginner, all levels of wine, cheese, and book enthusiasts are welcome to connect and have a great time together! Cheers to delightful tastings and enriching conversations!
