“Did I say wine prices are approachable there? Pardon me, but they ROCK! The selection is far from mainstream labels, a careful collection of smaller labels not found in big stores.”

“... Santé, the new wine bar in Asheville’s historic Grove Arcade is such a refreshing addition to the downtown scene. Sophisticated, without being stuffy, it’s a place where the novice and the oenophile alike will find an appealing variety of vintages to engage them.”

Went to Santé tonight for a wine tasting. This is not the first time I have been to this great little bar, but have come to really enjoy it. The owners are fabulous, and very adept to reading the guest. If ever I show up solo, they always generate a conversation. If ever with a group of friends they know when to walk away. Also, the wine is a great bargain, very reasonable prices. If you go, try the Blue cheese and walnut dip; Super yummy!really enjoy it. The

vocabulary (like mine) and helping find just the right wine. They’ve even (with T’s
help) assisted me in developing my palette! And if you go, please don’t miss their
divine homemade dips and hand-
