The Society for Good

The Bean & Bottle Society is our ode to two of life’s most beautiful expressions—coffee and wine. Both begin in the soil, shaped by climate, altitude, and human intention. Both are guided by the producer’s artistry and the quiet chemistry of fermentation, time, and transformation. They undergo transformations so elemental they border on alchemy—fermentation, oxidation, caramelization—turning fruit into something complex, expressive, and deeply human.And both, when crafted with care, become something greater than the sum of their parts—an experience that connects people, place, and palate.

We created the Bean & Bottle Society to celebrate that shared chemistry.

The Society For Joy

The Bean & Bottle Society unites coffee and wine enthusiasts in a single, sensory adventure. Each month, members receive an exclusive pairing: small-lot wines from visionary producers in California and Mexico, and award-winning Torque Coffees roasted for clarity, sweetness, and vibrant expression. These wines are crafted in small lots and available exclusively to Society members. It’s where craftsmanship meets curiosity, and every sip tells a story.

People x Place

At Torque our passion is people. We fercvently believe that committed, dedicated and passionate people are what makes coffee and wine so aboundingly rad. Both our coffee and wine programs are focused on the alchemy that great wine or coffee people produce when they take a place (terroir) and apply their personal process to it. The results are nothing short of magical. So great people, in a place, taking plants, applying their process creates an experience. That's what the Bean & Bottle Society is. The alchemical experience of people, place, plants and process. Lean-in.

Ask The Right Questions

How are the wines curated?

The Torque Society curates a unique and exclusive pair of wines each month. One featured focus wine from our producer partner and then one wine that complements, contrasts, compares or just plain feels good with it!

Do I get To Pick?

No. The Society is a highly curated membership for those elevated souls who love adventure and fun. The wines and the coffee will be absolutely amazing.

Tell me about the wine producers

Small California (& Mexico) producers doing great things. Highlighting biodynamic and natural wines with an emphasis on sustainable agricultural practices and small batch harvesting. The retail selection should be a mix of exceptional classics, table wines, interesting varieties, exciting, & approachable wines at mid-range price points. Special focus on women wine producers.

Which Coffees?

Each month Nanelle selects her current favorite coffee from our rotating selection and prepares it specially for Society members. Each coffee is in our award winning 12oz retail bags.

Are the Wines Available outside of the Society?

No. The wines we select for Society members we do not sell by the bottle or by the glass. These are exclusive Society members only selections. We do choose the wines from our featured producer for that month. So other wines from the same producer will be available by the bottle and sometimes by the glass.
