Wine Night

About WINE NIGHT…

Wine Night is a playful yet practical guide that transforms home entertaining by answering the perennial question, “What are we drinking tonight?”

Written by professional sommelier and Martha Stewart wine contributor Sarah Tracey, this book streamlines hosting (and puts an end to wine overwhelm) by focusing each chapter on one featured style of wine—think Pinot Noir Night, Champagne Night, Rosé Night, and other crowd-pleasing picks.

Hosts will find an expertly curated roadmap to creating an unforgettable get-together in every chapter: simple but impressive menus for apps and snacks that perfectly pair with that night’s wine style, a recipe for a welcome cocktail, and even a QR code linking to a music playlist to set the vibe. Just follow Sarah’s warm and lively instructions, and voilà: you’ll have a night of effortless elegance and plenty of cheers.

One part cookbook, one part wine resource, and one part hosting manual—Wine Night covers everything you need to create a stylish wine tasting in a snap! With fun, casual recipes designed for wine-friendly boards and bite-sized delights (forget full dinner menus), this book makes aspirational entertaining attainable for every skill level. Hosts will find expert recommendations for the best wine producers and regions for that night’s gathering to pick up at their local wine shop– or, they can simply ask guests to bring their own favorite bottle to share, sparking fun conversations and unexpected discoveries.

In addition to engaging wine education and essential serving tips, the book is packed with practical hosting hacks—from selecting the ideal glassware to creating an aesthetic tablescape—ensuring every Wine Night is as delightful to host as it is to attend.
