It was nice for the 10 minutes we did last. The view is great and the inside reminds me of a French cafe with giant floor to ceiling windows and doers. There was a small two person table perfectly centered near the windows that overlooked the outside city. I would you have taken a photo but there were people sitting there lost in the pure bliss of that spot and each other. It was beautiful Anyway...onto the food. It was wonderful.

We came with a large party of people and had a reservation in the back. Our server was very attentive and helpful with wine selections. Also, she wasn't sure about a recommendation for a specific wine, so the owner came out and helped as well, which was very nice. They were out of a few of the wines we wanted to try, but it was the day after Christmas and that was completely expected. What we had was fantastic. We did not order food because we had another reservation for dinner, but both the server and the owner made sure to let us know that if we were ordering food for a large group, they have a very small kitchen and it would take a little longer to accomplish everyone. Even though we were not dining in, I appreciated knowing that, and wanted to mention that if you have a large party and are eating, just be patient and have more wine!

We technically arrived 10 minutes before they opened and just soaked up the views. Finally we meandered inside. Point Lookout Vineyards is the winery, but Top of the World is the meadery. John selected 5 wines & 1 mead for a flight & i went 5 meads with one wine as my flight. We grabbed a glass of water & picked out our seat. We also spring for a 10 inch pepperoni pizza since it was lunch time. 1st- skip the pizza. IMO it didn't match the caliber of the experience in its entirety. Too much like a tostinos frozen pizza. The wine and meads were stellar. I started with Sweet Carolina Girl, a mid- sweet blended red that was bold in flavor, with that rich fruit. Very luscious. Next up, the Orange Blossom Mead, exactly as expected. Velvety mouth feel, bright flavor. The Beguile was next, a raspberry mead- at first sip, I was hesitant to like it. I went around the tasting and came back and liked it much more after the second sip. The Masala surprised me, a Chai tea mead, I'm not usually a fan of Chai tea but I was intrigued by the description. The clove and ginger with the cardamom was delightful. Mimi's Apple Pie was also very yummy, I honestly stay away from most "apple pie" flavors, because it usually never does it justice. This was an exception. Finishing this mead in bourbon barrels sealed the deal. Last & not at all the least was Sting, the classic orange blossom mead fermented with juniper berries, finished in a gin barrel. Startling on the palette. A very unique flavor profile for mead & I loved it! Overall, I absolutely loved my experience! We bought 3 bottles! Sting Mead, the Masala Chai Tea Mead & the Sweet Carolina Girl wine.

I didn't want a big meal since we were having dinner at Curate 3 hours later, but needed a little something. There's not much these days in Biltmore Village, but Yelp recommended Finch Grocery which was just a few minute walk the Grand Bohemian. I made my way over and passed it a few times before realizing it was inside an adorable house. As soon as I walked in I wished i had found this place earlier because I would have stopped by several days for coffee, breakfast and snacks. It's the most adorable little market and everything looks so good. The women who work here were also so friendly! I ordered some pretzel knots with their homemade mustard - they were warm and so delicious. The mustard had a little kick to it and was so delicious. Definitely a hidden gem in Biltmore Village that is worth checking out!

Finch Grocery is in the Biltmore Village neighborhood of Asheville where RV's aren't allowed to park on the street overnight. But Finch Grocery is part of an RV hospitality program where they allow people to use their parking lot. And it was a very quiet and very peaceful night. Arriving at 7pm and departing at 6am meant we didn't get to shop there but we'll be back in Asheville soon and will definitely check them out!

After years of Dalton Distillery being open, I finally made it a point to go try it out for a…read morepre-dinner drink. When I entered the establishment I was wowed at how cool the space is, I had no idea and honestly didn't have high expectations. The bar is decorated really cool with geometric wall designs and a giant hexagonal opening leading from one room to the other. Dalton Distillery also has Ping-Pong, a pool table, and video games. I had no idea. As I walked in, I was immediately curious as to how this place isn't more popular. There is plenty of seating with lots of chairs and a few couches. The Distillery is decorated with some cool furniture too and has some colorful graffiti murals. I am a very visual person and this place was surprisingly awesome inside. I'd love to come back with a group of friends for some Ping-pong and pool games! I was very happy to hear that my bourbon and gingers were only $4, a great deal that is a rarity in/near downtown Asheville. My friend ordered some of their housemade rum in a cocktail that neither of us enjoyed, but they have a pretty good beer selection so he left happy anyway. Overall this place was great and I can't wait to check it out again. I had to give Dalton Distillery 4 stars rather than 5 because the bartender was very unfriendly. I asked him many questions about the rum. I was very interested considering that they are a distillery and that is what they make, but he seemed annoyed by my questions and barely answered them. He talked to me in a way that was very arrogant and dismissive. I'd like to hope that next time I go in there is a different bartender or he has a better demeanor. Servers and bartenders play the role of being the face/representative of an establishment and for my first experience being here, there was not a good representation.
