Saying Goodbye & Thank You

We hope to see you this week in the shop taking advantage of our huge sales. This is an opportunity for Ron and I to say Thank You for your support and to say goodbye.

Ron and I decided to sell the wine shop so we could focus on our family time rather than spread ourselves thin with a growing business. This is a great decision for us and it's been an even greater experience.

Thank you for your support and encouragement. We couldn't have done it without you.

The sale of the shop happened very quickly and very smoothly. By next week you'll be meeting Jack, the new owner and our new friend. So, come by next week to say hello to Jack. He's a great guy and we're absolutely sure you'll like him and love what he's doing with the shop.

Ron and I will now have a chance to coach a soccer team together with my young daughter;
we'll dapple in making wine, and spend a lot more time in the kitchen creatively pairing wine and food. We'll be by the shop occasionally to say hello to Jack and check out his selection. So, cheers to a great year!

Merry Christmas & God Bless, ~ Ron & Jenny

About Us

Vesta Wine Cellars is owned and operated by Jennifer Tastet and Ron Carlile along with acquired help from their family and friends. This cozy shop is located in the northern part of Seattle between the neighborhoods of Maple Leaf and Ravenna. 

We are both Washington natives growing up with a simple appreciation for the flavor of wine.  As adults we share an appreciation for the winemakers who display their art in crafting wine and enjoy wine and fellowship with family and friends.  With a love for reading, traveling, and learning ~ wine is the perfect avenue to grow our knowledge and spend a lifetime learning about wine and the people who make it around the world.

We aptly named our wine shop Vesta Wine Cellars simply because wine is more than a drink, it is a significant part of any meal, and a center for gathering around, such as the hearth or modern day kitchen in your home.  To us wine is like the hearth, a significant symbol of warmth and comfort that seems to be part of all social events, celebrations, and important moments in our lives.  Wine is a gift, an art, a hobby, and a reason to gather to share special moments.

 

To steal a quote, “Vesta, the Goddess of the Hearth, is the most beautiful of Roman divinities, bright and pure like the flame that is her symbol.  Latin's made Vesta a goddess who personified the earth and fire.  She presided over the preparation of meals.  The hearth conjures up visions of domesticity and peace, for the hearth is the traditional center of family life.  It symbolizes warmth, security, and companionship.  A place for dreaming where it becomes possible by peering into the embers, to find physical and mental renewal and a place to discover the secrets of the future.”

We look forward to fulfilling our vision of offering wines from around the world that have great reputations and great value as well as growing a superior collection of Washington State wines. We will be your source for the well-known Northwest wines, value wines, outstanding French selections and wines from around the world: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Chile, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, and South Africa.

 If you enjoy wine, shopping in a comfortable atmosphere, and desire to support locally owned, small businesses, we are the wine shop for you. We are a special place where you may begin your journey of enjoying wine.

 Jennifer & Ron
