I moved to WNC two years ago from California wine country, so I've been spoiled with regards to…read moreprices and selection. I've visited a number of wine shops in Asheville, and have been most impressed with WineStore. It is clean and bright, and radiates positive energy. The staff have always been very helpful, and their recommendations have always been spot on. And they have prices that are not only the lowest in Asheville, but in some cases are lower on great Caifornia wines than they were back in California. Who knew? I was there today, and picked up some Rombauer chardonnay @ $35 and Caymus Napa cabvernet at $65. Most shops have those at $50 and $100. They also have very very good "value" wines - a Carneros chardonnay that's almost as good as Rombauer at $15, for example. I just wish they were closer to my house, I would be there every week.

A hidden gem in the beautiful city of Hendersonville! I'm glad this place popped up because I was…read moredying to take some moonshine back to my home state of Florida. Parking was easy (you can park on the grass) and the location is easy to find. Walked in and was immediately welcomed with a smile! I was offered some samples before buying what I truly wanted. The crowd was so friendly too, looks like I'm not the only one that comes independently. I was sampled the regular moonshine, peach, amaretto and the peanut butter. Holy crap! All of them were so delicious. Not too sweet, not too alcoholic-ly. It was the perfect amount to get you buzzed. I ended up going home with the original and peach... but man if I lived here, I would get all the flavors. I can't wait to share my mason jars with my boyfriend! I recommend this place to anyone, especially if you're going to come here alone. The staff makes you feel, so not alone. Their moonshine is a little bit on the pricey side, but it's a huge mason jar and the quality is top notch. They were so nice to even bag it up for me, get it prepared to bring it back home! I am definitely coming back here next time I'm in NC. * The staff here are also Star Wars lovers, it's a WIN WIN!

This location in downtown Lake Lure is convenient if of course you only need booze - if you need ice or a mixer you're out of luck pal. If seems it's the belief of the legislators that they definitely don't want you to have the ability to mix your cocktail in their parking lot I'm thinking it must be some insurance restriction or they don't feel we have the ability to be responsible anyhoo you can go to the Ingles down the street I guess if that's your intention - I personally don't condone this practice unless you have a Tevis cup or your ice will melt, beside why would I pre-mix my cocktail when I can't enjoy it until I get to my final destination it seems somewhere along the way our leaders were confused. If you have an urgent alcoholic need and I wittinesses several who apparently had, you can take your life in you're own hands and cross the busy street and get your mixers and ice at a business on the other side and cross back over to this parking lot - it's like playing a real live version of frogger (actually it's quite entertaining). Well the staff here was friendly enough to take my cash for a large bottle of Ketel One Vodka which I immediately stored in the ice chest in the back of my Jeep before driving across the street to get mixers and ice - I had no plans to start consuming any alcohol before getting back to the campground and boarding our rented pontoon boat for a leisurely ride around the lake that was of course piloted by our designated driver to ensure compliance and safety I hope you do the same...

I told them I was looking for some gin and bourbon. The woman came from around the counter and gave me some suggestions, told me all about some of the locally made options and was very knowledgeable about the selections they had. She told me they had a tasting not too long ago and everyone was very happy with and surprised about the Weldon Mills house gin. I ended up going with that and some larceny bourbon. The gin was awesome! And for about $13 for a 750ml, you can't beat it. I normally go with Tanqueray, but to me this stuff was smoother and better tasting. I'll absolutely come back here next time I'm staying in Lake Lure
