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.

In March, we’ll be reading The Verifiers by Jane Pek. This clever, genre-blending novel mixes mystery, tech culture, and sharp social insight as it follows a young woman working for a detective agency that investigates online identities. Witty and twisty, it explores belonging, reinvention, and who we really are—on and offline—giving us plenty to discuss.

To pair with the book, we’ve chosen Belposto Montepulciano d’Abruzzo. Smooth and fruit-forward, this Italian red offers notes of dark cherry and plum with a touch of spice and soft tannins, making it an easy, crowd-pleasing sip.

Your Book + a Bottle pre-order includes:

A copy of the book

One curated bottle of wine

An invitation to our guided group discussion

Choose from three discussion dates:

Tuesday, March 24th, or Thursday, March 26th, from 6:30–7:30 PM

or Sunday, March 29th from 4:30–5:30 PM

Please be sure to select your date at checkout.

Pick-up details:

Orders will be available for pick-up beginning February 15th, and you’ll receive an email as soon as your bundle is ready. Please note that orders will be held for two weeks from the pick-up start date. After that, unclaimed orders may be forfeited.

Space is limited, and discussion attendance is reserved exclusively for those who have purchased Book + a Bottle. As a little perk, let our bartenders know you’re part of the group during the meetup to enjoy 10% off your bar tab.

We can’t wait to read, sip, and discuss with you- see you there! 📚🍷
