ZD Wines Book Club

Move over Oprah. Granted, she may be the greatest force in publishing today, but look out because the fast-expanding book club at ZD Wines is here to stay. Although we may not have the power to raise authors from the dead with a wave of our hand, or banish them from bookshelves across the nation with a disapproving nod, ZD does have one thing going for it – community. In this community of authors, photographers, winemakers, locals and visitors a collection of beautiful books has sprouted up that captures the spirit of Napa Valley living. A small but coveted collection, the “book club” at ZD echoes Oprah’s in that each book is hand-selected for its style, distinctiveness and, perhaps most importantly, because it features ZD Wines!

Napa Behind the BottleOur “book club” also has another thing going for it – you can enjoy the wines while you leisurely thumb through the pages of each book in our tasting room-themed bookstore. Drink in the photography of Robert Holmes in Passion for Pinot, test your local knowledge with the California Directory of Fine Wineries, spruce up your coffee table with Spectacular Wineries of Napa Valley, or get an insider’s look at the heart of this community with portraits of the winemakers, owners and workers in Napa, Behind the Bottle. We may not be bringing recognized masters to the masses, but we are bringing little-known gems to the discerning, wine-loving people supporting ZD Wines! So grab a book and a glass of wine and join in…

The books in our club make excellent holiday gifts whether they are used as beautiful coffee table displays, as a means for expanding one’s Napa Valley knowledge, or as an addition to a literary collection.

As a reminder, 50% of retail proceeds will be donated to the UC Davis deLeuze Family Endowment for a Non-Toxic Cure for Lymphoma for the month of December.
