What we’re about
What is the Literary Wineaux Society?
We are a wonderful group of wine lovers and book lovers who meet up for monthly book club and other events. Our book clubs happen once a month at a local wine bar on a Wednesday.
How it works? I, Tiffany the host, nominate seven books under one random theme and the group votes on the book they wish to read for that month by placing their vote in the comments. While reading the book is optional (I mean, you gotta come for the great wine!). The list of books are usually a diverse grouping with a mix of fiction and non-fiction (as long as it sticks to the theme).
The Hemingway Cocktail Society: This is a spinoff of the Literary Wineaux Society. I schedule events once a month where we visit swanky cocktail bars around OC. You'll find these events also on this group's page.
Wineauxs on the Water: We will take a tour around Newport Harbor on an electric Duffy boat while wine tasting on the boat. Each guest will bring a bottle of wine aboard that coincide's with the theme of the wine tasting aka French wines.
Buzz Books and Bubbles: another spinoff of our core book club. A smaller group which reads and discusses buzz books of the moment while sipping on champagne.
Membership: New in January 2025, the Literary Wineaux Society will become a membership-fee-based group with an annual fee of $10 due every year. Newbies to the group get 30 days to test the waters before having to pay the annual fee. If you'd rather pay via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or Apple Cash please message me for details. Note: if you pay through meetup.com, the charge may appear as WineBingeTV - that's me!
Group Etiquette: Book Club is an investment of time and money. If you are RSVP'd to an event and there is a waitlist, please be mindful of your RSVP and update it as soon as you know you will not be able to make it, so people on the waitlist can have time to read the book. Thank you in advance for your courtesy.

'Run For The Hills' by Kevin Wilson - Ever since her dad left them twenty years ago, it’s been just Madeline Hill and her mom on their farm in Coalfield, Tennessee. While it’s a bit lonely, she sometimes admits, and a less exciting life than what she imagined for herself, it’s mostly okay. Mostly. Then one day Reuben Hill pulls up in a PT Cruiser and informs Madeline that he believes she’s his half sister. Reuben—left behind by their dad thirty years ago—has hired a detective to track down their father and a string of other half-siblings. And he wants Mad to leave her home and join him for the craziest kind of road trip imaginable to find them all. As Mad and Rube—and eventually the others—share stories of their father, who behaved so differently in each life he created, they begin to question what he was looking for with every new incarnation. Who are they to one another? What kind of man will they find? And how will these new relationships change Mad’s previously solitary life on the farm? Amazon Link.
