The Wine Column: Are Expensive Wines Worth It?

May 2018

Written by John Kerr of Metro Wines


The Truth about Low Priced and Expensive Wine

What will $100 get the two of you for a night of entertainment in Asheville? You could see a movie followed by a meal at a modest café. Or perhaps you could dine in one of our celebrated restaurants, provided you skip the appetizer and dessert. And there’s always the bar with small plates as long as you go easy on the drinks.

You’ll have a good time. But if truth be told, your evening will be partially reined in by the constraint of your budget. However, a truly memorable evening is assured if you put that same $100 towards a bottle of luxury wine and a little cheese or charcuterie.
