Scarpetta Club

$79/year

Welcome to the Scarpetta Club — where nothing good gets left behind.  This isn’t just a newsletter. It’s a community. Grapestained is a cultural deep dive disguised as food, wine, conviviality, and laughter. Each week, you’ll get fresh, sommelier-crafted content without the snobbery: a generous pour of nonna-approved recipes and chef-spun dishes, spotlight stories on winemakers and families who live what they pour, pairing tips to boost your hosting game, wine wisdom made fun and accessible, travel guides that feel anything but touristy, and stories that bring culture vividly to life. You’ll learn, taste, and wander — not from a textbook, but from tables where strangers become family. Scarpetta, after all, is the beloved and charming Italian ritual of soaking up every last drop with bread — and that’s exactly what we do here. We soak up the culture. We savor the mess. And we never let a good wine, meal, or story go to waste.
