Wine and Gift Baskets at Winestyles 828-277-WINE

Wine and Gift Baskets

Shopping for the wine enthusiast on your list? Looking for a thoughtful and unique gift? WineStyles wine gift baskets are a great way to show you care and make a wonderful gift for a variety of recipients.

Our custom gourmet wine gift baskets feature some of our finest bottles complete with accessories and other specialty items to round out the wine-drinking experience. It’s an all-in-one package that will allow the intended recipient to enjoy their basket to the fullest.

Whether you are shopping for holiday wine gift baskets or corporate wine gift baskets, you will find the perfect present for any person or occasion at WineStyles. Who wouldn’t love to receive the luxurious gift of vino?

Gift baskets with wine make a sophisticated statement that is great for impressing an important client, sending a gracious thank you or toasting a special occasion. There are simply some occasions where other gift baskets won’t do (somehow, the traditional fruit basket just doesn’t seem to make the same statement).

Our unique gifts are the perfect way to celebrate all of life’s milestones – both big and small – and to let your loved ones know you are thinking of them. We are happy to help you create a special basket that is personalized for the special person on your list. Not sure what types of wines the recipient might enjoy? We can help! Our business model is set up to help people find wines that they’ll love and we’re always happy to make recommendations.

A WineStyles gift package is always sure to impress. It is perfect for people who have already fallen in love with great wines and for those who are just starting to develop their palate. Each WineStyles bottle is accompanied with a style description of the wine’s characteristics, flavors and suggested food pairings that is of interest to aficionados and novices alike.

Call us today at (828) 277 – WINE(9463), email to jshaw@winestyles.net or come by the store and let us help you create custom wine gifts and baskets! WineStyles at Gerber Village, 10 Crispin Ct,  Asheville, is located at Gerber RD and Hendersonville Hwy behind Frankie Bones Restaurant.

Melody Juge at Winestyles September 23rd 7-8:30 PM

 RSVP to jshaw@winestyles.net or call 828-277-9463.

In our effort to keep you informed about all matters important, WineStyles Asheville thought it would be both interesting and fun to make available to our customers an informal evening of Q & A with Melody Juge, Registered Representative.  Melody is the managing director of Life Income Management™ with over 28 years experience as a financial/investment advisor and educator with extensive experience as a professional national speaker.   She is currently compiling a wide-range of consumer information through informal gatherings and professional surveys for her upcoming book on money/investments/retirement as it relates to the three phases of investing: accumulation/preservation/distribution.

WineStyles evening with Melody is not a platform for a product or service:  this is an informal evening with Melody as we ask the tough questions about what is important to us regarding: our perception of the market, how the rules of the game changed our investments in general, retirement issues – how will we have enough, is the securities industry still manipulating us, how to decipher securities credentials and anything else you can think of regarding investing, retirement and money in general.  We will share with her ‘how we are thinking and feeling’ about the economic climate, the road we traveled to get here, the effects on family and relationships, our lifestyles, our wine styles and the community, as we see it.

Melody is an entertaining communicator on this subject and the experience will be both fun and informative…guaranteed!  Come join WineStyles!  This is a first!

… Not something you normally expect from your local wine shop but certainly a topic that requires a glass of wine!  RSVP, space is limited.  September 23rd, 7-7:30 wine tasting and appetizers from Chef Bob Tirman of A Taste of the Blue Ridge, 7:30 – 8:30 Q&A with Melody. Cost:  $15.

RSVP to jshaw@winestyles.net or call 828-277-9463.
