What we’re about
Hello Wineauxs!
We are a fun group of wine loving, book loving, aged 35+ (like a fine wine) group of people. We would love for you to join us. Here's one of the many activities we have planned each month....
Monthly Book Club - Every month we meet at a local wine shop in Scottsdale where we have a curated wine tasting based on the theme of that month's book. We discuss the book, drink wine, laugh and have fun. I promise you will meet a new friend at this book club!
Buzz Books & Bubbles - This small group spinoff meets once a month at a wine bar as we discuss a buzzy book of the moment (usually a newly released book) while sipping on champagne or you drink of choice. Great for avid readers who want to read more than one book a month.
The Capote Brunch Society - This is a spinoff of our book club where we meet for brunch and like Truman Capote and his swans we discuss a long form article that I provide to you prior to the brunch (think Anna Delvey fake heiress type stories).
Beginning in February 2025 - The Literary Wineaux Society will be a fee-based membership. All new members will receive a 30-day trial. The annual dues are just $10 per year. You can pay via Meetup or you can pay me directly via Venmo, PayPal, Zelle or Apple Cash. and I'll update your membership manually.
Wineaux Rules: please kindly cancel your RSVP ahead of meetup time if unable to make it to allow for the waitlist to open up. Thank you.

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!
"Deftly and engagingly delves into this complicated not-so-cold case." ―The New York Times
"Expertly plotted and exquisitely twisted." ―Ashley Elston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of First Lie Wins
From the instant New York Times bestselling author of The Last Flight and The Lies I Tell comes a dazzling new thriller.
June, 1975.Synopsis
The Taylor family shatters in a single night when two teenage siblings are found dead in their own home. The only surviving sibling, Vincent, never shakes the whispers and accusations that he was the one who killed them. Decades later, the legend only grows as his career as a horror writer skyrockets.
Ghostwriter Olivia Dumont has spent her entire professional life hiding the fact that she is the only child of Vincent Taylor. Now on the brink of financial ruin, she's offered a job to ghostwrite her father's last book. What she doesn't know, though, is that this project is another one of his lies.
Because it's not another horror novel he wants her to write.
After fifty years of silence, Vincent Taylor is finally ready to talk about what really happened that night in 1975.Amazon Link

Capote Brunch Society: Breakfast w/Tiffany at the NEW Society Swan
Location not specified yetSCREAMING!!!!!!
I am freaking out that Sam Fox is opening a new restaurant in Scottsdale called SOCIETY SWAN, inspired by Capote and his Swans. Could this be even more perfect?
I hope it lives up to all my hyping just now LOL. I was only able to make reservations for 4 people (at this time - I will add more so please waitlist yourself). They have not opened the restaurant yet, but will be open by the time this event happens.
Here is link to RESTAURANT and MENU.
Address: Scottsdale Fashion Square - 7014 E Camelback Rd Ste 559, Scottsdale, AZ 85251The Capote Brunch Society was inspired by Truman Capote's weekly lunches with his "Swans" - NYC's high society women. They would gossip about "all the things" - instead I will provide a longform article (think Vanity Fair, the New Yorker) the Thursday before our lunch for us to discuss with our small group.
more details to follow :)

October Book Club + Halloween Costume Party : 'Weyward' by Emilia Hart
Mise en place , 13610 North Scottsdale Road, Ste. 14, Scottsdale, Arizona 85254, United States,, Scottsdale, CA, USOctober's Theme is inspired by one of my favorite movies of all time -- The Witches of Eastwick. You voted and the LANDSLIDE winner is...
'Weyward' by Emilia Hart - A historical fiction novel told in three timelines. 2019: Under the cover of darkness, Kate flees London for ramshackle Weyward Cottage, inherited from a great-aunt she barely remembers. But she suspects that her great-aunt had a secret. One that lurks in the bones of the cottage, hidden ever since the witch-hunts of the 17th century. 1619: Altha is awaiting trial for the murder of a local farmer. When Altha was a girl, her mother taught her their magic, a kind not rooted in spell casting but in a deep knowledge of the natural world. But unusual women have always been deemed dangerous, and as the evidence of witchcraft is laid out against Altha, she knows it will take all her powers to maintain her freedom. 1942: As World War II rages, Violet is trapped in her family's grand, crumbling estate. The only traces Violet has of her mother are a locket bearing the initial W and the word weyward scratched into the baseboard of her bedroom. Weaving together the stories of three extraordinary women across five centuries is an enthralling novel of female resilience. AMAZON LINK
