A growing interest in naturally processed, organic wines has resulted in an increasing number of wine bars and tasting rooms in Washington. Wine enthusiasts can enjoy a number of trendy hangouts throughout the state, where they can gather with friends for good conversation and a great wine selection. But what if you could enjoy sipping a glass of wine while getting lost in an engaging work of fiction? Nestled in the Phinney Ridge Neighborhood of Seattle, among restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques, you’ll find Drink Books, the most unique wine shop and bookstore around.

Drink Books is the brainchild of Kim Kent and Emily Schikora.

Drink Books was built on the idea "that any act of consumption – be it fermented juice or a sensational sentence – is an experience worth talking about". With that belief, (and many conversations over wine) Drink Books was born.

The owners of Drink Books combine their love of fine wine with their love of literature in the most unique way.

By offering natural wine pairings with compatible works of fiction and narrative non-fiction, Kent provides visitors with the perfect combination to relax and escape through wine and prose.

This isn’t just any bookstore.

The selection of natural wines and titles at Drink Books are carefully curated and expertly paired with attention to the minutiae of flavor profiles and the complexity of storytelling.

Immerse yourself in fine wine and a compelling novel.

The pairing of wine and words is not a new concept. Many wine shops carry a selection of books, and it’s not unusual to see wine in a bookstore. However, Drink Books has reimagined the classic wine shop, providing a personalized experience catering to wine lovers and bibliophiles.

Attend a special event at Drink Books for a unique wine-tasting experience.

Drink Books offers in-house seasonal events and fun pop-ups, including author storytelling, tarot card readings, small business markets, and more, all exquisitely paired with delicious, natural wines.

You won’t find the same old books and wine collecting dust in this shop.

Drink Books has an ever-changing selection of natural wines and engrossing novels to quench your thirst for the written word and distinctive libations.

If you’re an avid reader and wine lover, you’ll want to check out Drink Books in Seattle’s North-Central District.
