Red Wine Reads Podcast
Welcome to Red Wine Reads, a community of book lovers talking about our favorite and not-so-favorite books while pouring a glass (or two) of wine.
Each week, your host Jenna Weston is joined by a rotating cast of four co-hosts, each with a specific set of reading skills and preferences. From TikTok famous smut, to Pulitzer-Prize winning novels, to the classics you read in high school, we hope you find a little something you like.
