Recognizing that the best incentive to buy local food—at least in February—is a warm, dry place to shop, Appalachian Vintner has introduced a weekly indoor “tailgate” market. The new South Asheville beer-and-wine shop partnered with the Appalachian Sustainable Agricultural Project to launch the indoor market, featuring honey, trout, cheese and other Western North Carolina-made products. “Giving these farms an additional platform to showcase their products is a true blessing, especially during the winter,” store co-owner Geoff Alexander wrote in an e-mail announcing the project. The tailgate market is held on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., and is always followed by a free wine tasting.
