I was in the SoBro area to try out another business. As I usually do when I'm in the area, I…read moredecided to check out and see if there was anything new in the area. I wheeled by Orangily, which calls itself a "wellness bottleworks shop," and was curious. Their signage noted that they were dog friendly and also "friendly." It felt like the usual vibe for the SoBro area. I kind of looked inside. I could really only see one side of a wall, but I definitely noted bottles. "That makes sense," I thought to myself. I didn't stop. I figured it was one of those hoity-toity shops where I seldom feel like I fit in and that's usually reinforced once I do enter. You want to see awkward? Follow me into a Hollister shop. The only time I fit in a Hollister is when we're talking about Hollister-branded ostomy supplies (and yes, if you're wondering, there are Hollister-branded ostomy supplies). But, I digress. As you can guess, I'd not heard of Orangily. After wheeling by it three times, I decided to trust the fact they were friendly and pay a visit. I used the handy-dandy ramp on the side of the sidewalk they share with United State of Indiana (facing East 54th Street) and check it out. I was greeted by someone whom I believe to be the owner/co-owner. She was friendly and hospitable on a quiet, chilly day in SoBro. I quickly asked "Okay, I just have to ask. What's a wellness bottleshop?" She provided an explanation. She noted that they'd originally described themselves as an alcohol-free shop (beer, wine, rum, etc.), however, that really doesn't completely sum up their offerings which also include CBD type offerings, THC drinks, and other functional beverages like adaptogens (which are a favorite of mine). Explanation in hand, I looked around. First off, it's worth noting this shop has a nice concrete ramp inside due to a weird elevation issue. It's beautifully done (I'd experienced it before with a prior tenant). The shop itself has a simple, nicely streamlined layout and I was able to get everywhere I wanted. I mostly avoided one wall that was primarily alcohol-free wine. They also have some terrific non-alcoholic beer options (I had no idea Stella Artois had an alcohol-free option). I checked out the adaptogens, the CBD options, and others. I noted they offer classes. The prices were more reasonable than I expected for this specialty area. I didn't end up buying anything this time around, primarily because I'm having surgery in a couple days and I figured having THC show up on a lab probably wasn't a great idea. I was quite pleased with this shop and will very likely return in the near future. With United State of Indiana and Orangily right next to each other along with The Clubhouse? This is a great little corner. So, here's what I experienced. There was great accessibility, a friendly vibe, and cool products at fair prices. Orangily does complimentary shipping for orders $75+ and they have a blog called Sparkling AF. Orangily has a warehouse store in Carmel between Cafe Patachou and Rackz BBQ on Main Street facing Hazel Dell Parkway.

I'm so glad we visited to taste a few of their creations. I had the pleasure of meeting Jeff and his family, who are the brains behind this winery and vineyard. For $5, you get to sample 6 different tasting pours. After tasting a few of their common favorites, I asked for something a bit more viscous and full. Jeff immediately suggested I try their Single Barrel Reserve for a premium ($2/taste) - wowza! It was a great, deep, full red wine. I quickly bought a bottle of Single Barrel, as well as a bottle of Seyval Blanc (100% estate grown). I'm not typically a white wine drinker, but their Seyval was delicious - perfect on a warm day or with the right foods. I ended the buying spree with a bottle of Strawberry wine which was so unique to me. It is so uniquely sweet and full of strawberry flavor that I just had to share with my friends back at home. If you're looking for a chill place to enjoy some great local wines, don't hesitate to visit Buck Creek. They also host live music and other events on their lawn, so check their website for the latest news.
