Merobebe Salon: Wine About Love & Money
An evening of wine tasting, paired bites, and the kind of money talk women should be having (plus a special gift!).
Joined by Sol Lee, ex-Mastercard & Uber, now the co-founder & CEO of Neptune, a startup helping couples align on values and wealth.
Doors open at 6 PM | Programming begins promptly at 6:30 PM
Let’s talk about the one thing that’s more complicated than dating in NYC: money.
Whether you’re single, partnered, or somewhere in between, one truth holds: financial independence is essential.
Hosted by sommelier + strategist Megumi Calver, this will be an intimate evening that brings together brilliant women for a salon that’s part community gathering, part wine-tasting, and 100% financial empowerment.
❤️💰This Month’s Theme: Love & Money
In a special fireside chat with Sol Lee, co-founder of Neptune — an AI concierge for modern couples navigating high-stakes financial decisions, starting with prenups — we’ll explore how women today are approaching life changes, conversations around money, and long-term financial wellbeing in every part of life.
🥂 What You’ll Get:
Real Talk: An off-the-record fireside chat + facilitated discussion on wealth, identity, and what it means to take ownership of your financial life
Real Wine: Curated tasting of small batch, woman-owned wines – including a varietal you may have never tried before!
Real Pairings: Thoughtfully designed bites by returning chef & food writer Sophia Wronsky, founder of Voracious, to complement each pour
Real Connection: You’ll leave with new insights and new connections, because you deserve deeper conversations than just “so...what do you do?”
♥️ Special Gift!
Each guest will receive Neptune’s brand-new card deck, Fight Night: a conversation game designed to help couples talk about money more productively. Think of it as a prenup primer, relationship deepener, and icebreaker all in one. It’s smart, surprising, and built for modern love.

💬 Previous Guests Have Raved:
“What stood out most was how genuine the energy in the room felt - people showed up open, vulnerable, and ready for truly authentic conversations. It was definitely the opposite of ‘stuffy LinkedIn vibes.’ Instead, it felt welcoming, supportive, and inspiring - like connecting with real women who actually want to uplift each other.”
"A beautifully curated event that struck the perfect balance between sophistication and warmth… The evening brought together an impressive group of women, and I was genuinely surprised by the depth of connections made in just a few hours. Quality wine, thoughtful curation, and excellent company - exactly what you hope for but rarely find.”
“Wine was great, it was a good mix of activity, and connection. I didn’t even want to take out my phone, I was having such a good time. The women I met were so diverse and so interesting. I can’t wait to see who I’ll meet next time.”
Space is limited.
Intimate by design. Come for the wine, stay for the connection & wisdom!
