Reading Between the Wines - May

Reading Between the Vines is the ever-popular cohosted Withington's/Serendipity Books wine-forward book club. 

Our pick this time is The Widow Clicquot, a bestselling biography of the visionary young woman who built a champagne empire, became a legend and showed the world how to live with style.

Veuve Clicquot champagne epitomizes glamour, style, and luxury. In The Widow Clicquot, Tilar J. Mazzeo brings to life—for the first time—the fascinating woman behind the iconic yellow label: Barbe-Nicole Clicquot Ponsardin, who, after her husband's death, defied convention by assuming the reins of the fledgling wine business they had nurtured together. Steering the company through dizzying political and financial reversals, she became one of the world's first great businesswomen and one of the richest women of her time.

As much a fascinating journey through the process of making this temperamental wine as a biography of a uniquely tempered woman, The Widow Clicquot is the captivating true story of a legend and a visionary.

We'll discuss this wonderful book (also a Netflix show) alongside themed wine tastings and knowledge from Withington's.
