"Metro wines is one of my favorite local businesses in Asheville. They consistently go above and beyond and impress me every time without ever trying. I’m never scared to be myself in here and I’m as basic as it comes in the wine knowledge department. It’s easy to know when I like a wine but I don’t know enough to be any kind of expert and often fail to verbalize a description. When I come in, the staff is so friendly, knowledgeable, and approachable. I give them some weird vague detail about what I want or the occasion I want it for and they somehow nail it EVERY TIME!! I can name any price point (not feel judged) and they intrinsically know exactly what my heart is asking for. THANK YOU Metro Wine team! It is an honor to be your loyal customer!"
MetroWines Replied:
"Hello Loyal Customer! Thank you for characterizing our staff as "approachable." Before I knew much about wine, I confess to feeling intimidated in a wine shop, sure the staff, realizing my lack of knowledge, would convince me to buy some geeky wine that really would not pair with my polenta. When we opened MetroWines, we decided that an "approachable" (what we call non-pretentious) atmosphere was the goal. And I still appreciate this easy communication. More often than not, I find myself asking our buyer, Andy, if the name on the bottle is the region or the winery! Hope to meet you soon. If you are not subscribed to our Sunday Newsletter, "The Public Palate,"(https://metrowinesasheville.com/metro-wines/join-the-email-list) this email is the best way to stay informed on all out events. For example: Andy is pouring a few of the many versions of Chenin Blanc and telling all who stop by ALL about this versatile grape in the engaging way that only Andy can. Join us on Wednesday, February 12, 4-6 @MetroWines on Charlotte Street! And thank you for writing to us."
