Wine on Main Book Club & Wine Tasting

June 18, 2024 @ 6:30 pm - 8:00 pm

On Tuesday June 18 from 6:30-8pm, join us for another book club night.  We have selected Eight Hundred Grapes by Laura Dave as our book for the event.  She is a #1 New York Time’s Bestselling author of acclaimed novels like The Last Thing He Told Me.

Eight Hundred Grapes has been called “impossible to put down,” “addictive,” and “a gripping family drama.”  The suspenseful book is set against a wine country backdrop… an excellent choice for Wine on Main.

Writer and Concord resident Jocelyn Winn will be here to lead us through a discussion about the book… while tasting wine, of course!

Tickets are $30/person.  It includes light snacks, the full wine tasting, and interesting conversation.  Sign up below:

More about Eight Hundred Gapes:

There are secrets you share, and secrets you hide… What if your beloved fiancé, he of the crinkly smile and irresistible British accent, had kept a life-changing secret from you? And what if, just a week before your dream wedding, you discovered it?

Georgia Ford, bride-to-be, hops in her car and drives through the night, from Los Angeles to Sonoma, to her safe haven: her family, and the acclaimed family winery. Georgia craves the company of those who know her best, and whom she truly knows. Better yet, it’s the eve of the last harvest—the best time of the growing season, and Georgia knows she’ll find solace—and distraction—in the familiar rituals. But when Georgia arrives home, nothing is at all familiar. Her parents, her brothers, the family business, are all unrecognizable. It seems her fiancé isn’t the only one who’s been keeping secrets…
