Vineworks, an interactive wine, food and culture tasting community in the heart of Sangsu-dong, hosts a monthly book club for recreational and avid readers to discuss books over wine.
Host and owner Ian Ashworth prepares regional dishes and chooses select wines with whatever connection he can make to the tale chosen.
The book club recently announced Jonathan Lethem's “Motherless Brooklyn” as the book for June. It is about Lionel Essrog, a detective in Brooklyn who has Tourette's and works for mobster Frank Minna.
Participants should finish the book by 2 p.m. Sunday, June 24, to join in the fun and conversation. Vineworks is near exit 1 of Sangsu Station on Line 6. Visit
