Books. Wine. Community.

Welcome to Novel Pairings—a book club with a twist (and a corkscrew).

We’re here to bring together those who crave meaningful connection, a good story, and a perfect pour. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or just someone who loves a cozy night in with a glass and a great read, you're in the right place.

Each month, we pair compelling books with curated wines and sprinkle in thoughtful conversation, cozy vibes, and fun extras like playlists, challenges, and themed gatherings. No pressure. No pretentiousness. Just pure joy—on your terms.

If you’ve ever felt like you needed a reason to slow down, recharge, and do something just for you—this is your sign.

Let’s flip the page, pour the wine, and create something beautiful together.

MEET THE FOUNDER

Hi, I’m Erin Kirschenmann—lifelong reader, editor at a wine magazine, and the kind of person who always matches her wine to her current read. (Yes, a moody Pinot for a twisty thriller is totally a thing.)

When I’m not writing about wine or reading my next favorite novel, you’ll find me hiking in the hills, traveling to wine regions around the world, curled up with my two dogs, hosting low-key (but somehow also slightly extra…) hangouts with friends, or—on really good days—zooming around a racetrack.

I created Novel Pairings to combine the things I love most: storytelling, community, creativity, and of course... wine. But more than that, I wanted to build a space for women like me—ambitious, curious, maybe a little tired of the daily grind—who just want to have fun again.

Want to know more about me? I’m an open book! Find me on Instagram @erinakirsch, teaching wine classes at Napa Valley Wine Academy, or read some of my writing at erinkirschenmann.com.
