Wines For Book Lovers
For the Joy of Stories and Sipping
It is a truth universally acknowledged that one of the best ways to spend the day or evening is with a good book and a glass of your favorite wine. Here are our Rombauer recommendations for the next book you bring to book club or open on a quiet night on couch. We think they go together like birds of a feather and hope you enjoy.
Romance & Chardonnay
We love this genre with a crisp glass of Carneros Chardonnay. With tropical fruit, hints of vanilla, and a creamy texture, our most popular wine is the perfect pair to story lines ranging from enemies to lovers, unlikely duos, and fake relationships. We love to cheers and we cheers to love!


Fantasy & Sauvignon Blanc
Escape into stories of dragons and fairies while slowly sipping our Sauvignon Blanc. Otherwise known as California sunshine in a glass, this bright wine is the counterpart for whichever hero or villain you choose to cheer for.
Mystery & Merlot
Who doesn’t love a good “who dun it?” Whether you go classic mystery or modern thriller, these books keep you on the edge of your seat. Our beloved Merlot is a safe bet for any mystery you break into.


Historical Fiction & Pinot Noir
Transport yourself to the past as you pour our Pinot Noir. From Paris to Vietnam, North Carolina to South Africa, historical fiction is as versatile as our Santa Lucia Highlands Pinot Noir—it’s hard not to love it.
Comics & Cabernet
Who says books need to be all about the words? From superhero stories to Sunday funnies, we appreciate the unorthodox combination of comics and Cabernet Sauvignon. Pour a glass, put up your feet, and enjoy.
