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!

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.

Our purchase included a sparkling red, two rieslings (including one produced in North Carolina), a gewürztraminer, and two Cabernet francs. Very excited to uncork these. And the girl behind the counter was lovely and very helpful as she was responsible for going with the NC- based Riesling.
