Each month from September through February, a thoughtfully selected book from Russian River Books & Letters is paired with a J wine chosen by a member of our estate team. Available as a one-time bundle or through our seasonal subscription, delivered straight to your door.
Bookmarked & Bottled was created to bring together two of life’s simple pleasures: a great story and a great bottle of wine. The result is a monthly ritual September – February, designed for slowing down, turning the page, and savoring the experience.
Every bundle includes a thoughtfully selected book, a perfectly paired J wine, our monthly newsletter with pairing notes and reflections, plus a collection of extras chosen to bring the experience off the page.
Choose a one-time bundle for $70 or join the seasonal Bookmarked & Bottled Club for $55 per box plus $10 flat-rate shipping. *Subscription enrollment is open through October only for this seasonally offered subscription (Sept – Feb).
This month’s pairing: a bold, adventurous read paired with a sparkling wine that matches its energy.
The Pirate Queen by Ariel Lawhon is the latest release from the New York Times bestselling author known for bringing extraordinary women from history vividly to life. Bold, adventurous, and unapologetically untamed, it’s the perfect companion for September’s inaugural bundle. Adventure, intrigue, a story impossible to put down.
Crafted in the spirit of celebration, Cuvée XB brings brightness, energy, and elegance to the experience.
“The Pirate Queen is a story about a woman who was never just one thing. The Cuvée XB is a wine that is never just one note.” Full review included in bundle.

Bookmarked & Bottled is J’s monthly wine + book pairing program. Each month, Russian River Books & Letters selects a book and a J estate team member pairs it with the perfect J wine. Your bundle arrives at your door with the book (or audiobook), the bottle, a newsletter, and a few surprise extras to make the experience complete.
You can shop or join Bookmarked & Bottled two ways:
One-Time Bundle
$70 per box + shipping. Buy any month’s bundle without a commitment.
Bookmarked & Bottled Club (Subscription)

Subscriptions are open for sign-up during September and October only. Once the window closes, memberships will not be available until the next season. Individual bundle purchases will be available for the full season while supplies last.

Every bundle includes a book, a bottle of J wine, and a monthly newsletter with the J reviewer’s wine pairing notes. Each month also includes a fun surprise extra — think custom glassware, stickers, bookmarks, candles, and more. Physical and audio bundles may vary slightly in contents.
Yes! Bookmarked & Bottled is available as a physical book bundle or an audio book bundle through our partnership with Libro.fm. Audio bundles include a How to Redeem card so you can access your book digitally. Some physical extras (like the leather bookmark) are exclusive to physical bundles. (January’s Bundle is only available in physical format, so audio subscribers will receive a physical bundle for January)
September bundles ship or are available for pickup at the tasting room on September 10. Subsequent monthly bundles ship on the same day of the month that you signed up. You’ll receive a shipping confirmation email when your bundle is on its way.
Absolutely — Bookmarked & Bottled is open to everyone. Please note that your existing wine club member discounts apply to individual wine purchases, not to Bookmarked & Bottled bundle pricing.
Bundles ship from our Napa facility. Ground shipping is available nationwide. The subscription includes a $10 flat-rate ground shipping charge per shipment.
The books are selected each month by our friends at Russian River Books & Letters, a beloved local bookstore in Sonoma County. Each book is then paired with a J wine by a member of our estate team — someone who knows both the wine and the story behind it.
Whether you’re joining us for a single month or settling in for the season, your next great pairing is waiting.
