Our Story
17 is a sacred number here at Book + Bottle. Our anniversary is March 17th and our address is 17 6th Street. We felt like you’d enjoy picking up your sacred wines on the 17th of each month, too.

The Friendship That Started It All
Heidi and Terra met in 2019 as they both were seeking out a wine study group. They couldn’t find one, so they started their own! The universe brought them together, along with their mutual friend Courtney, and the studying began.
When Book + Bottle opened, Courtney and Heidi were some of the first people Terra brought in - she wanted the best wine experts St. Pete had to offer!
Once the store became established, they started noticing that regulars were wanting curated wine picks, so Heidi encouraged Terra to create a wine club for the shop. Now, one year later, the 17 Club is booming, with over a hundred local members and some of the best wines found in the state of Florida!
