Where Your Next Great Escape Begins
You made it—and we’re so glad you’re here! Each month at Novel Pairings, we curate a vibe-filled experience that combines your love of stories, your curiosity about wine, and your craving for meaningful connection.
Here’s what we’re sipping, reading, and listening to this month
Don’t Forget! Our May Book + Wine Club Meeting is May 16 at 5:30 p.m. PT
The Book
Our first read is a heartfelt, emotionally rich romance about second chances, unexpected connection, and the power of being truly seen. When political golden boy Elliott and aspiring tattoo artist Drix cross paths, sparks fly—but their worlds couldn’t be more different. As they navigate family expectations, public pressure, and personal dreams, they’ll have to decide whether love is worth rewriting the script for. Perfect for fans of slow-burn romance, deep feels, and characters who stay with you long after the final page.
The Wine
Why a Rosé of Pinot Noir?
Because let’s be real, Abby Jimenez writes books that make us feel everything — so a rosé is perfect for lifting the mood while still giving us that romantic pink-hued glow and the moodiness of a Pinot Noir. Fruity, but not sweet, crisp, and perfect for walks on the beach or enjoying the first of the spring weather!
One Stone Rosé is a specialty offering from the Ancient Peaks family. One Stone Rosé is crisp, fresh and luscious—an elegantly emblematic expression of the Central Coast. One Stone is a tribute to all of the women who move mountains, one stone at a time.
A portion of each bottle sold is donated to Dream Big Darling, a nonprofit that provides mentorship programs for the next generation of leaders in the wine and spirits industry.
Remember, you must be over the age of 21 to purchase alcohol.
The Tunes
"Heartstrings & Happy Endings"
A blend of indie-pop, acoustic, and soft country vibes to match the mood of the book. Light a candle, pour a glass, and press play.
Here's a 30-song playlist that pairs perfectly with Say You’ll Remember Me and a glass of Pinot Noir Rosé (or sparkling Rosé if you're feeling fancy). Think romance, longing, hope, healing, and those little joyful sparks.
This is YOUR Space
This membership is your invitation to pause, unplug, and pour into yourself. Whether you come for the books, the wine, or the community, you’ll leave feeling a little lighter, a little more fulfilled—and ready to come back for more.
