We stayed on the main floor since the host seated us there, but later realized you can order at the bar and take your drinks up to the rooftop--something I wish we knew earlier. The bartenders were pleasant and laid-back, not pretentious at all. The cocktails were inventive and well-crafted. I went with the Coffee Date and Lord of Misrule--pretty good--but in hindsight, I wish I had tried more of their Fever-Tree and Chemist collaborations, which sounded especially interesting.

Trivia: a person who makes or sells wines is called a ?…read more I was super impressed with the selection. Less impressed with the service. Instead of a kind welcome or "can we help you find anything?" I got the "this guy looks shady" look. When I asked if they had any cardamom bitters, there was a notable difference in their demeanor. I guess shady characters don't ask about cardamom? I don't know. Super cool and eclectic area to grab some really cool brews with some friends. The name doesn't fully encompass their offerings.

I was so pleasantly surprised to find excellent selection, excellent service, and a spacious, inviting store at Appalachian Vintner. . .I could not have asked for a better experience. I enjoyed listening to the local NPR station as I browsed their beers, segregated into regions like "East Coast" or "West Coast" and they had plenty of ciders I'd never seen in Tennessee. If you get a chance to stop in, give yourself plenty of time for browsing.

I walked in around 2pm and received a friendly greeting from both guys behind the counter and spent a few minutes perusing the entire store. It's so much more spacious than it looks from the outside and is split up by regions, and in the back there is a case of wines on tap, which reminds me of one of my favorite places back in Phoenix where I first saw something like that- Winston Salem Wine Market has the same feature as well! I wish I had had time to try a few samples, but now I know about it for next time! I will absolutely return here next time I visit. I ended up finding a great chilled sparkling wine and I found a sweet red for my Christmas dinner. So glad I found this spot!

Not everyone would think to go to a grocery store for a sandwich but I'm glad I did. They have a…read moredaily special where you can purchase a full sub for only $8 and change so of course that's what I got. I wanted wheat bread but they were out so I went with the regular white. No biggie. With that I got a tuna sub with lettuce, tomato, onion, peppers and salt and pepper. Delicious and the sandwich was HUGE. MUCH better than Subway. I have to point out; when I get a sandwich I usually get green peppers but they had mixed colors for their peppers. I made a comment of how I only get the green ones but that the mixed is fine; the guy grabs a handful and this sweet man picks out just the green peppers for my sandwich. He didn't have to do that and I was so very thankful. Huge plus for just that. Shows he actually cares and I love that! Wish I got his name. But sir, if you see this, THANK YOU!! You made my day with that small gesture. I walked around the store and stumbled upon the Snyders pretzel pieces and they were on sale 2/$5. I hadn't had those in forever so of course I bought two bags. The sour cream and caramelized onion flavor.....SO GOOD!!!!!! Will 100% go back if I'm ever in the area. I need to try more subs!

I sat at the bar, and the staff was incredibly welcoming and wonderful. They had fantastic live music from a local acoustic guitar player whose selection was absolutely perfect for relaxing with a drink. They feature a full bar, an extensive beer selection, and a few frozen cocktails. They even had a special margarita menu during my visit! I highly recommend checking out their frozen drinks, the pickle martini (or the shot version), and the French 75.

I gave a price range and listed off three champagnes that I liked. I got back and to my surprise my husband was so excited with the one I picked up. He had been to the winery and France and happened to love their champagne! It was my first time visiting and the staff was beyond helpful. I'm a little sad I don't live in Asheville so I can frequent their shop regularly but I will be back the next time I'm in town. It was so lovely and full of delicious, off the beaten path wine!
