A great book.I’ve been combining these two pleasures for most o f my adult life\, and the connection between them feels almost effortless. Both invite you to slow down\, settle in\, and escape for a while. There ’s a comforting ritual to each. You pull on something cozy\, choose a mo od\, whether it’s a genre or a varietal\, and sink into your favorite ch air. A novel can transport you to another world just as easily as a glass of wine can. But books and wine aren’t always solitary pursuits. They ar e meant to be shared. My book club\, Reading Between the Wines\, embraces both. Every meeting starts with a toast to our members.  Just as I’m ea ger to discuss a novel I’ve loved\, I also enjoy swapping wine recommend ations with my Wine Gals group. Both gatherings revolve around conversatio n\, discovery\, and a shared appreciation for something we enjoy. And both books and wine can be delightfully uncomplicated or wonderfully complex. Sometimes\, all you need is a beach read paired with a crisp pinot grigio. Other times\, a thought-provoking novel practically demands a layered cab ernet and a long discussion. Even the way we discover new favorites is rem arkably similar. A friend sends a text recommending a must-read. A colleag ue mentions a fantastic bottle over lunch. Recommendations have a way of c reating communities. Independent businesses across North Carolina have emb raced this natural pairing\, and bookstores serving wine are becoming dest inations in their own right. In Asheville\, I’ve long wanted to visit th e Battery Park Book Exchange. When I finally made it there\, I immediately understood the appeal. Bookshelves surrounded comfortable seating\, and g roups of friends\, couples\, and solo readers lingered over books and wine cocktails. I happily joined them. In downtown Fayetteville\, Bound & Vine offers another irresistible combination. Owner Kellie Artis has created a n elegant\, welcoming space centered around books\, community\, and though tfully selected wines. Between the curated collection\, book clubs\, and l iterary events\, it’s the kind of place where I could lose track of time entirely. Raleigh readers can visit Bright Side Books & Wine Bar\, a book store devoted to romance in all its forms\, from fantasy and contemporary fiction to LGBTQ+ titles and beyond. Cozy couches\, outdoor seating\, wine by the glass\, and plenty of conversation make it an ideal spot to spend an afternoon. Two more North Carolina destinations remain on my list: Tril ogy Books Wine & Tea and Quarter Moon Books. I haven’t made it to either one yet\, but I’m certain I’ll stop in when my travels take me that w ay. My fellow reader and wine enthusiast Emily Naughton summed it up perfe ctly: “Wine and books are both relaxing. People read books to escape the stresses of everyday life\, and people often use wine the same way. It’ s like a date night with yourself and your brain.” I couldn’t agree mo re.

A novel can transport you to another world just as easily as a glass of wine can. But books and wine aren’t always solitary pursuits. They ar e meant to be shared. My book club\, Reading Between the Wines\, embraces both. Every meeting starts with a toast to our members.  Just as I’m ea ger to discuss a novel I’ve loved\, I also enjoy swapping wine recommend ations with my Wine Gals group. Both gatherings revolve around conversatio n\, discovery\, and a shared appreciation for something we enjoy. And both books and wine can be delightfully uncomplicated or wonderfully complex. Sometimes\, all you need is a beach read paired with a crisp pinot grigio. Other times\, a thought-provoking novel practically demands a layered cab ernet and a long discussion. Even the way we discover new favorites is rem arkably similar. A friend sends a text recommending a must-read. A colleag ue mentions a fantastic bottle over lunch. Recommendations have a way of c reating communities. Independent businesses across North Carolina have emb raced this natural pairing\, and bookstores serving wine are becoming dest inations in their own right. In Asheville\, I’ve long wanted to visit th e Battery Park Book Exchange. When I finally made it there\, I immediately understood the appeal. Bookshelves surrounded comfortable seating\, and g roups of friends\, couples\, and solo readers lingered over books and wine cocktails. I happily joined them. In downtown Fayetteville\, Bound & Vine offers another irresistible combination. Owner Kellie Artis has created a n elegant\, welcoming space centered around books\, community\, and though tfully selected wines. Between the curated collection\, book clubs\, and l iterary events\, it’s the kind of place where I could lose track of time entirely. Raleigh readers can visit Bright Side Books & Wine Bar\, a book store devoted to romance in all its forms\, from fantasy and contemporary fiction to LGBTQ+ titles and beyond. Cozy couches\, outdoor seating\, wine by the glass\, and plenty of conversation make it an ideal spot to spend an afternoon. Two more North Carolina destinations remain on my list: Tril ogy Books Wine & Tea and Quarter Moon Books. I haven’t made it to either one yet\, but I’m certain I’ll stop in when my travels take me that w ay. My fellow reader and wine enthusiast Emily Naughton summed it up perfe ctly: “Wine and books are both relaxing. People read books to escape the stresses of everyday life\, and people often use wine the same way. It’ s like a date night with yourself and your brain.” I couldn’t agree mo re. Which leaves us to\, what are you reading and what’s in your glass t onight?

A novel can transport you to another world just as easily as a glass of wine can. But books and wine aren’t always solitary pursuits. They ar e meant to be shared. My book club\, Reading Between the Wines\, embraces both. Every meeting starts with a toast to our members.  Just as I’m ea ger to discuss a novel I’ve loved\, I also enjoy swapping wine recommend ations with my Wine Gals group. Both gatherings revolve around conversatio n\, discovery\, and a shared appreciation for something we enjoy. And both books and wine can be delightfully uncomplicated or wonderfully complex. Sometimes\, all you need is a beach read paired with a crisp pinot grigio. Other times\, a thought-provoking novel practically demands a layered cab ernet and a long discussion. Even the way we discover new favorites is rem arkably similar. A friend sends a text recommending a must-read. A colleag ue mentions a fantastic bottle over lunch. Recommendations have a way of c reating communities. Independent businesses across North Carolina have emb raced this natural pairing\, and bookstores serving wine are becoming dest inations in their own right. In Asheville\, I’ve long wanted to visit th e Battery Park Book Exchange. When I finally made it there\, I immediately understood the appeal. Bookshelves surrounded comfortable seating\, and g roups of friends\, couples\, and solo readers lingered over books and wine cocktails. I happily joined them. In downtown Fayetteville\, Bound & Vine offers another irresistible combination. Owner Kellie Artis has created a n elegant\, welcoming space centered around books\, community\, and though tfully selected wines. Between the curated collection\, book clubs\, and l iterary events\, it’s the kind of place where I could lose track of time entirely. Raleigh readers can visit Bright Side Books & Wine Bar\, a book store devoted to romance in all its forms\, from fantasy and contemporary fiction to LGBTQ+ titles and beyond.
