Boozy Book Fair
Banned Book Vigil
Curated by Harlow Palisade and West Slope Mercantile.
This month’s theme: BANNED BOOKS. The titles that scared censors, rattled librarians and outraged small-town committees. The novels they didn’t want you to read. From smoldering classics to slyly subversive modern tales, these are the stories that provoke, inspire and ignite the imagination.
Discover the secret password to place an order for our Banned Book Wine Cocktail:
The Midnight Marginalia
Tempranillo, blackberry reduction, a hit of rosemary and a splash of balsamic.
Stand with banned.
