BOOKSHOP.ORG

We are so pleased to partner with Bookshop.org in support of our beloved independent booksellers all over the country. At Bookshop.org they believe—as we do at F&F—that local bookstores are essential community hubs which foster culture, curiosity, and a love of reading. We’re committed to helping indies thrive. Bookshop.org is a one-stop online shop where book lovers can complete an easy one-click book purchase all while being certain that their money is supporting indie bookstores! Readers have the option to and select a specific bookstore they’d like to support, or, if they don’t choose a store, their purchases contribute to a profit-sharing pool that helps all our stores. Bookshop.org has raised more than $24-million for independent bookstores since their inception! Bonus! Every purchase you make in our F&F Shop on Bookshop.org supports our show and our guests. Join us in shopping small and shopping local from the comforts of home at Bookshop.org.

This distinctive collection of flavorful wines—Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay—from California’s best growing regions,seeks to champion stories that inspire.
