Event Details:

It’s an online book club with a twist! We're reading books that inspire reflection and pair well with wine.

Each month, join Carrie Sinkowski (Community Legal Clinic - Brant, Haldimand, Norfolk) and special guests for an enjoyable evening of exploring themes of social justice and connecting literature to local community.

Upcoming featured titles:

• February 23 – Little Fires Everywhere, by Celeste Ng
• March 23 – The Glass Hotel, by Emily St. John Mandel
• April 27 – Born a Crime, by Trevor Noah

For added dimension, Burning Kiln Winery and Instagram sommelier Somm on a Dime will confer to recommend a wine pairing for each book. Interested participants have the option of ordering directly from Burning Kiln, with free shipping and a discount available when purchasing a three-month package. And all attendees have the chance to win an overnight stay at the historic Burning Kiln Farmhouse in St. Williams, Ontario!
