Uncorked Book Club + Westside Wine Bar

Uncorked Book Club at Westside

Please join us for a lively conversation about books, wine, and how pairing the two can elevate our enjoyment of both. At this relaxed book club, we’ll discuss a work of short, story-driven nonfiction or science-forward fiction and sip on a wine selected specifically to pair with the book’s themes and ideas.

The Uncorked Book Club at Westside is a collaboration between Westside Wine & Spirits, The Thinking Spot, and Bookworm Wine + Words.

Your ticket includes a glass of the paired wine. Additional glass pours, limited selection of sandwiches/snacks will be available to purchase.

Our 2026 schedule:

Sept. 21, The Soul of an Octopus by Sy Montgomery

Nov. 16, Exit Party by Emily St. John Mandel

Guiding the discussion will be Rima Parikh, founder of The Thinking Spot, a Wayzata bookstore with a curated selection of science-themed nonfiction and fiction for adults and children, and Jennifer Simonson, a lifelong reader with a WSET Level 3 Award in Wines. She writes about pairing books and wine on her blog, Bookworm Wine + Words.

Books can be purchased at The Thinking Spot, Minnetonka Blvd and Highway 101, or www.thethinkingspot.us.  Use code: UNCORKEDWEST for a 10% discount on the book club selection.

We hope to see you there!
