Reading Between the Wines

Book Club is officially cool again (wasn’t it always?). It’s even easier to connect with your gal pals over your favorite reads thanks to today’s virtual vibes and…wine! Here’s how we’re reading between the wines…

First things first, make sure you’ve got the perfect book nook to settle in to. Make a list of essentials to include, and don’t forget plenty of Butter to sip on. The best book nook definitely has:

• A super cute bean bag to cuddle up on
• Your own personal Butter yellow ice bucket filled with ButterCans chilled for your sipping pleasure. 
• Sticky notes, your favorite pen to write in the margins & a bookmark—you can even personalize your own!

Start your own private Facebook page and invite your besties near and far! Read these tips on starting the best book club ever—totally virtual. Buy matching Book Club shirts to wear on your monthly Zoom chat…or better yet, create your own slogan and get them made! Or get super creative and theme out each get-together based on the book.

Join other book-club babes virtually at; Girls Night In Book Club!, and Read a Book With Kara. It’s always helpful to have recommendations at the ready for next month’s pick, so stay up-to-date on some of the latest releases (these picks from Oprah are always a good idea).

If reading is totally your "Me-Time" JaM, set a date-night-in with yourself. Start with a checklist of all the books everyone should read during their lifetime and dig in. Or start with these Top 30 if you need something more bite-sized. Buy yourself a cute journal and use some of the discussion prompts on Goodreads to expand your mind. Could Butter be a metaphor for life? Discuss with yourself, you’re bound to get the right answer.

Book Club is a great way to relax online, chat, and sip wine with girlfriends and new friends, or for a solo escape…and we are here for it! Butter, books, and besties…is there anything better?

Casual Cabernet? You bet!

JaM Cabernet is rich, lush and super smooth, but don’t feel like you have to stand on ceremony to open a bottle. We asked for some chilled out ways to enjoy JaM’s berry-licious goodness and these girls knocked it out of the park. Check it out here.

Sea Salt Secrets says bring on the BBQ but skip the table cloth (it’s only going to blow away anyway) and opt for paper plates and food served in foil.

Jaclyn Murphy suggests outdoor game night (LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the larger than life game pieces!) and she thinks JaM goes great with LaMb! Or try Mary Makes Good’s backyard bonfire…with ooey gooey s’more’s? Yes, please! 

Chilly versus chilled out? The Flavor Blender says don’t be afraid to spice things up and gives us these easy and exotic Indonesian meatballs that you can serve hot or cold.

I do deClaire has a brilliant tip: figure out exactly where in your house/yard your party guests are going to be, and focus on cleaning (and prepping) only those areas. Why have we never thought of this before?

Host your own casual Cabernet evening with JaM. Don’t forget to sip, smile and share #JaMCellars #ChillWithJaM
