Can I get Biltmore wines at Appalachian Vintner? Yes, we carry a large assortment of Biltmore wines and wines made in North Carolina at the best prices in town.

How can I tell if a wine is bad? Smell it-if it smells musty or “not quite right,” get a second opinion.  Allow the wine to breath, as sometimes smells will “blow off.”  Make sure the glass you are using is clean or try a different glass and see if that provides a different aroma or flavor profile.  If you are in the position to do so, research the wine and make sure that is not a characteristic of the variety.  If the wine was purchased at Appalachian Vintner, we will assess the situation and replace as we find appropriate. Please keep the cork, bottle and wine for return.
