Much respect but whoever the owners are; please educate yourself on poke and the meaning of this dish. This is out of respect for the culture and love of food. I would love to support you but -- this is just wrong. It felt like eating uncle Ben rice with cooked salmon and you call that spicy tuna? I'm completely lost for words.

The owner was very friendly and knowledgeable and gave me a summary of his wines and ciders. But down to earth and made the experience! The cider was incredible as well and enjoyed a glass with a sandwich on the porch overlooking the vineyard. Opened a bottle of wine at home and delicious as well. A semi-sweet wine and highly recommend! Cannot wait to visit again soon!

We stopped by Perry's Berry's Winery after a hike this summer. There were people there enjoying…read morepicking of blueberries, but we were there for the wine! Here is what we had with our two wine flights: *Blueberry Reserve - this was only okay, my husband liked this one more than I did. *Muscadine - this was good, but being that NC exceeds in muscadine wines, we have just had better muscadine wines. Even with that said, we still enjoyed it. *Plum - very fruity, and very good. We both really enjoyed this one. *Peach - this was a nice peach wine. *Scuppernong - this was very good, really enjoyed the flavor. *Strawberry - this was only okay, the least favorite of the day. *Blackberry - this was only okay, wanted stronger blackberry flavor. *Creekside Crush Sangria - this was okay, we have had better "sangria" wines. We felt it was strong in the blueberry flavor, but I get where they are going with the additional fruity flavors in a red wine. Slushy of the day: *Peach Pina Colada - this was SO good! I would have never thought to combine peach and pina colada, but it worked! It was very refreshing on a hot summer day. Overall, we enjoyed our wine flights. We both agreed our top 3 were plum, scuppernong, and muscadine. We went home with a bottle of the plum. Other things to note: *They have four non-carbonated ciders, but they are not available for a flight. As we love ciders, we bought all four to try at home. We have only tried the peach mango so far - it has more mango than peach, but still really good flavor. We were both left wanting it to be carbonated like other traditional ciders we enjoy. It just seemed off, otherwise, it would have been up there with some of our favorite ciders. *They have a small bistro onsite. I was not expecting anything of it, but we split the chicken and spinach crepe, and it was wonderful! *They are dog friendly in certain areas, which we appreciated since we hike with our family canine! We definitely enjoyed our visit here, and it won't be our last. I definitely recommend if you are in the area.

She specifically told me to go for the wide variety of vegan/plant based selections as well as the awesome discounts they give on things that are close to going out of date. Let me tell you- I'm so happy I did! I got 3 packs of plant based meat for .99 cents, and a lot of other items worth around $6 each just for .99 cents. If you pay attention, yes Ingles can be a bit pricy, but notice the sales- you can find prices here better than any other store if it's on sale! They carry a LOT of local items and items made by small businesses too, which I love. Lastly, their bakery, deli, salad bar, and hot food bar are insanely large! A must try? The pistachio muffin! Scrumptious! This is our new go to grocer. I can't believe I finally found some of my favorite brands I haven't seen since I worked at Sprouts down in Florida!
