Botanist & Barrel Tasting Bar + Bottle Shop Asheville

Now that we have switched this account to be the home of DeFi Wines let give you a Sneak Peak! 🌊

In a few weeks we will release our 2023 Vermentino. Check out the teaser below👇

This Vermentino walks the line between a salty elegance and textured floral intrigue. With a delicate two-day skin contact and a rest in fresh Chardonnay barrels, it’s a white wine with whispers of the seaside. The nose greets you with salty sea breeze and a hint of caramel, mingling with lightly toasted nutty notes. On the palate, it’s light and fresh, yet carries a subtle grip and depth from its skin contact. Perfect for those who crave a little texture with their crispness.

👉Yadkin Valley AVA.
👈Native Yeast.
👌ABV: 12.4%.
🫶40 Cases Made. Release date: Jan 29 at in Cedar Grove and in Asheville!

🥹😭 y'all..... Katie’s leaving us at the end of the year, and frankly, we’re not okay. She’s the kind of person you want in your corner—steady, kind, and just the right amount of chaos to keep life interesting. She never pulled that “bossy manager” shtick, because she didn’t need to. She led by being brilliant at her job and even better as a human.

🫣We’re keeping this short because Katie hates attention. If you try to sing her a farewell song, she’ll probably disappear faster than her famous matzah ball soup. But we couldn’t let her leave without saying this: Katie, you’ve been an absolute gift to this place. Thank you for your heart, your humor, and for proving that empathy is the real superpower.

Now go out there and live your best life, but don’t forget—you always have a seat at this bar (and a backup glass of wine) waiting for you✨🥂🍷

🗣️Come grab a glass with Katie before she dumps us!! Friday the 27th - be there or be square.

👉Swipe all the way for an extra special ✨blessing✨

🤝💥Unapologetically wild, beautifully untamed, and crafted with a touch of chaos and a lot of heart. These bottles don’t just hold wine—they hold stories, grit, and a big middle finger to doing things the ‘proper’ way.

✨ REFLECTING ✨
Reflecting on how wild it is that a kid from North Carolina ended up here—smack dab in the middle of a glossy spread, talking about wild wines and dreams that aged better than a vintage bottle.

The laughs? 100% real. The gratitude? Even more so. And the Polaroids? Well, those are just a reminder that life’s a beautiful mess, best enjoyed with a glass in hand and a grin you can’t quite contain 🥂
