A vintage of secrets, poured slow.

Paul Moretti has spent a lifetime collecting stories — through wine, travel, books, maps, and the friendships that shaped him. But time has begun to move differently. When he asks his son Neo to join him on a trip through Italy for a long-awaited Wine Club reunion in Ravello, Neo sees it as a complicated interruption to his fast-moving life in Toronto.

What begins as a reluctant father-son journey becomes a road through memory. From Barolo to Montalcino, Liguria to Florence, and finally the Amalfi Coast, Paul and Neo encounter old friends, unexpected detours, hidden rooms, family history, and the quiet truths that surface only when life slows down.

At its heart, The Wine Club is not a novel about wine. It is a story about time — the kind we think we have, the kind we lose, and the kind we finally learn to hold.
