Joe Wagner, fifth-generation winemaker and owner of Belle Glos Wines, and luxury stationer Dempsey & Carroll are partnering to help bring back the long-lost art of love letter writing.
Together, Belle Glos and Dempsey & Carroll have created limited-edition Belle Glos Love Letters stationery kits (SRP: $90) that feature the Belle Glos stationery, a custom pen, wax in the classic and easily recognizable Belle Glos red, and a custom wax stamper, all perfectly nestled in the classic Dempsey & Carroll navy box. Belle Glos has partnered with world-renowned romance novelist Nicholas Sparks to kick off the program, resurrecting the long-lost art of writing love letters— an art that has been valued for lifetimes.
The promotion comes on the 25th anniversary of the publication of Sparks’ best-known novel, The Notebook.
The bespoke kits are available on their own (SRP: $90) at quiltandco.com/product/belle-
“After going through an unprecedented chapter in our lives, we’ve learned to cherish our connections more than ever before,” says winemaker Joe Wagner. “I created Belle Glos in 2001 as a love letter to the land, Pinot Noir, and my family, in particular my grandmother Lorna Belle Glos Wagner. I hope you’re inspired to do the same – whether about your favorite restaurant halfway across the world, the love of your life, or your most beloved pastime.”
Nicholas Sparks is one of the world’s most beloved storytellers. All of his books have been New York Times bestsellers, with over 105 million copies sold worldwide, in more than 50 languages, including over 75 million copies in the United States alone.

Looking ahead, Sparks is excited to release his upcoming novel, The Wish, and recently shared the news that earlier this year, the feature film rights for one of his well-regarded novels, The Return, were acquired.
