Read Between The Wines

Read Between the Wines: A Literary Tasting Experience

Thursday, March 26 • 5:30 PM - 7pm

Commerce Street Books inside The Doyle Hotel, Charlottesville, VA

Hosted by Commerce Street Books, Samantha Jones, The Monticello Wine Trail, and Michael Heny of Michael Shaps Wineworks.

Join us for an evening of books, conversation, and Virginia wine as we explore "Love Is a Mixed Tape" by Rob Sheffield. This beloved memoir reflects on love, loss, and the powerful role music plays in shaping our memories and relationships.

The evening’s discussion will be paired with a lively white wine from Michael Shaps Wineworks, a wine that sings alongside the spirit of the book, bringing bright energy and character to the conversation.

Come gather with fellow readers and wine lovers for a thoughtful night of storytelling, community, and a pairing that celebrates both music and wine.

This free event includes:

A taste of wine (complimentary, 21+) and wine is available for purchase by the glass and bottle

A conversational exploration about this book with Samantha and Philip Lorish
