We worked with Julie for our wedding alcohol order. She was fantastic to work with! She helped us through multiple order changes, always offered great prices, and even recommended a delicious Pinot Grigio that was a huge hit with our guests. Highly recommend!

We greatly enjoyed the wine education Andy gave us on the wines we were interested in. And we got some excellent tastes of a few wines from France. Great staff; very friendly folks with an excellent selection from vintners worldwide. Highly recommended.

I attended a wine tasting here that was won at an auction. My friend won, and the experience was delightful, and doubly delightful, as the item was donated to the Asheville Music School. Full disclosure: I am a board member there. So thank you so much to Metro Wines for the donation, but this will be a review of my experience, unbiased, regardless of whether the experience was donated, because my friend did pay for the experience. She just happened to invite me!
This was one of the most delightful evenings we have had in Asheville a long time. I’ve attended so very many wine tastings, having lived in San Francisco for 10 years and frequenting the wine country on many weekends. In addition, we have friends in Long Island, and we go to the wineries up there, and we have been to Châteauneuf de Pape region and had wine tastings in France, and even enjoy the North Carolina Vineyards, because they are fun with their muscadines and scuppernongs and their small town goodness.
I’ve also attended tastings with food pairings and tastings where the experience is focused on a particular producer or maker, or even varietal. An evening with Antinori or Caymus for example. So I guess I’m trying to say this was not my first rodeo.
Somehow, though, Andy Hale at Metro managed to make the whole experience feel fresh and interesting. He chose some really unusual varietals and smaller boutique Vineyards and wine makers, and as such, created a delightful experience of wines that I normally would not have sought. So kudos to his choices, but also kudos to his presentation, his sense of humor, his style. We are a group of Gen Xers, a bit jaded, still hopeful. We are artists and community activists, readers and poets, tech nerds and lobbyists. We have all lived in Asheville for decades. The “newcomer“ having lived here 17 years. Together the eight of us collectively have lived in Asheville over 160 years. I know that’s an odd way to put it, but we all have so much history in this town. That said, we can be a bit rowdy, sassy, interruptive, etc. So Andy handled that element as well. His sense of humor matched ours, his timing matched ours. He met us where we were.
I emcee a lot of of the events, and I’m on mic a lot, and I am a semi-retired college professor, and I understand if you’ve got a crowd/room that is talkative, it’s difficult to capture their attention and still be interesting. Andy managed to do this with grace and humor, and he still managed to educate us on a lot of the wines. He was a perfect fit for our group.
Also, at a lot of past wine tastings, often the same information is recycled over and over again. Not so here. Andy’s stories were interesting, delving into the actual producers, notes on biodynamic wines, stories about the makers. My only complaint, and it’s a Picayune one, is it would be great to have just a couple of more slices of cheese. Since the cheese was pairing so beautifully with the whites at the beginning (especially the wines he introduced us to that straddled the Swiss border) everybody gobbled up their cheese on the first two tasting. Perhaps leave those cheeses out for the whites with the crackers, and then bring in something a little bit different for the reds to prevent the group from eating all of the cheese with the white pairings.
Regardless, bravo Andy and Metro Wines! What a fun event!

Had a wine tasting today with a friend who is getting married. We met with Kristen, and I can honestly say it was a delightful experience. She was so intelligent and FUN. She is simply amazing. Loved every minute of the experience, and honestly, we would have loved to have stayed longer to hang out.
The wines she picked for the bride were absolutely perfect for the brides taste and menu.
The wine shop had an excellent collection of nice wines from around the world that are not over the top expensive. They hold free wine tastings during the year. I do not know if it is monthly or seasonal.
10/10 recommend for wine enthusiasts as all the people that worked in there were lovely. It wasn’t the fake kind of lovely either. A calm and inviting atmosphere.

Starting out strong, 100% would recommend to anyone who needs help selecting wines for an event or personal enjoyment. After a friend shared their experience using Metro Wines for their wedding a few years ago, I had to reach out. I spoke with Kristen, who was so helpful and fun to work with. We wanted to keep things simple with one red and one white wine for our guests. Kristen put together a sampling for us that was so good, we were able to make our decisions right away!
A few weeks later I needed help selecting a good champagne for a friends birthday party, immediately she knew exactly what to recommend that would be appropriate for the party, and not burn a hole through my wallet since I needed at least 6 bottles. Again, an excellent recommendation was made, everyone really enjoyed the champagne!
When I went to the store to actually pick up the wine, everyone there were so nice and helpful. They helped me carry the bottles out to my car and everything!
Needless to say, I will rely on Metro Wines for any future events, and if I ever need to find something special for another occasion I know exactly where to go. 10/10 Recommend!

Used them for the wine/beer at my wedding and if you are trying to decide what to do about alcohol USE THIS COMPANY!! They made it so easy! Kristen was so nice, knowledgable and responsive. She was very helpful in trying to figure out what we needed and how much. We also go to do a tasting with her beforehand to try the wines and approve of what we were going to have. They also dropped the alcohol off at the venue and made it so easy for me. I didn’t have to worry and it was great. Great pricing and the best part is you get to take what is left over!
