editor’s letter Every year, I am surprised to find some new thing that is being grown or made in WNC. We truly live in an amazing place which is filled with an abundance of food options. Grapes and wine, for example. Most people think Europe or California when they think wine, but delicious wine is being produced right here in our area.

While local wine may be overshadowed by local beer, that hasn’t stopped wineries and vineyards from popping up all over the region. So many in fact, we have our own wine trail (p. 24) to highlight them all.

Today’s NC wines are not just the old muscadine variety.

There are growers, like Burntshirt Vineyards (p. 20) growing amazing grapes and apples and turning out award winning wines in Hendersonville. In contrast to Burntshirt’s agricultural setting, the brand new Pleb winery (p. 12) is making wine in the urban area of the River Arts District.

Fall is the perfect time to enjoy a glass of wine on the porch as the sun is setting and the leaves are falling. But If you’re more of a foodie than an oenophile, Stu has all the recommendations for the best eats at places that also serve wine (p. 22). Dig in Y’all!

THERE ARE A LOT OF CLICHES REVOLVING AROUND ITALIANS AND FAMILY and, in certain cases, you can understand why those stereotypes stick. So much so, that when you really find yourself engulfed in an Italian community, it often becomes hard to distinguish who is related by blood and who is just considered an uncle. In a lot of ways, Strada owner and chef Anthony Cerrato fits that cliché to a tee, but in others, he has seen that typecast painfully challenged in his own life. Any story from Anthony starts with a Goodfella’s-like explanation of the handful of characters involved, and who was related to whom, whose last name was just a letter or two off from the others, who was called uncle that wasn’t actually an uncle.

In 2012, after the locks had been changed on his family’s restaurant, he candidly and pointedly told a reporter from the Asheville Citizen Times, “Never work with family.” But just six months ago, he promoted his son Gabe to head of the kitchen at his restaurant, leading to their busiest months in the business’ history. There are almost a dozen employees at his restaurant that have worked for the family for nearly their entire careers, some of whom have been with the company nearly 20 years. And through breakups, disagreements and victories, closings and openings, and even recessions, they’ve all kept coming back to each other, the way a family does.

Born in Newark, raised in the small town of Nutley, New Jersey, Anthony moved down to Asheville at the age of 18 to help his father Fred — a developer who built Glen Arden Heights, as well as homes in Oakley. “He always wanted to get into the restaurant business for some reason,” says Anthony.

Feature

In 1988, Fred opened Boscoe’s in South Asheville followed by the downtown Cottonwood Cafe in 1995, and pushed Anthony to enroll in culinary school at AB Tech. “I wanted to be an architect, but my father wanted me to help with the restaurant,” says Anthony. “He talked me out of it to go to culinary school instead.

‘Just try it,’ he said.”

“I started off as a dishwasher, and I washed dishes for two years!” he says. “Not six months, not two months, two years, before I got to do anything else.

Dishwasher, prep, garmangier, then I started doing the cold/hot line, and then got into saute and then chef. But it took years.”

Through the connections of his father’s best friend, Harvey Nadel, Anthony was connected with the Shastri family, who ran the Windmill Restaurant — and later Cafe Bombay, the Latin Quarter, and the Flying Frog Cafe — and landed Anthony an internship for culinary school with the Windmill, where he worked while continuing to help with Bosco’s and Cottonwood.

After meeting and marrying his first wife, Pam, at AB Tech, and discovering they were expecting, he asked his father for a raise.

Fred said he couldn’t swing it, and Anthony found his new family packing their bags to move to the triangle, where he took a job working at Italian eatery Bachagaloops for a year and a half.

“They were definitely characters,” he laughs, noting that after enough internal struggles, the joint ended up going south. “But the place was so busy! I would go in at nine in the morning, and there was already a line around the building to get in!”

With his wife out of work taking care of the baby, he found him-

“this whole thing with my father was a blessing in disguise, because now my son and i work together; it’s like pressing the rewind button on my life.”

VISIT STRADAASHEVILLE.COM self working nearly 100 hours a week, and with a few more connections through family and friends, he wound up seeking better hours at Vinnie’s Steakhouse and Tony’s Oyster Bar. But after cooking one too many Steak Oscars, Anthony started worrying if it was time to get out of the business entirely. He left the restaurant world, taking a job at Whole Foods and working his way up the leadership ranks, helping to develop their catering business and opening new branches, until that too wore thin. “I just got so used and abused by everybody,” he says. “They’d tell you you’re only going to be working 60-80 hours a week, and the next thing you know you’re working 100, and you can’t even pay your bills because you can’t do anything else, you can’t even get to the bank!”

He went on to enroll in the police academy and was looking at property management jobs, hoping to abandon the kitchen altogether, when his father called him back to Asheville, desperate for help with the Cottonwood Cafe. “One day I went out there, and there was a sea of grey hair in the dining room, and I said to my dad, ‘Do you see an issue here? ... everybody is over 65! Our clientele is limited, we have to get with the times!’”

He drew a new logo, a bull representing his father, and a flower, for the literal translation of his grandfather’s name, which would be the new name of the restaurant, Fiore’s. Serving higher end Italian food, he made everything from scratch, including their ravioli and pastas.

“Monetarily, it was a bust,” he says, “but reputation wise, it was a big success, because that’s how I became known in town, was through Fiore’s and Fred’s Speakeasy.” But soon, he started looking for ways to do something on his own and hand the restaurant back to his father. But when Anthony began planning his own venture in 2012, his father was furious to discover that most of the staff saw their loyalties with Anthony, and not at Fiore’s. In a very public, ugly feud, Fred closed Fiore’s abruptly, without notifying the staff, papering over the windows, removing the sign, and changing the locks, ending the restaurants 22 year legacy practically overnight.

“Ironically he closed the doors on February 27th. I was going to tell him on the 28th that I wasn’t going to go through with it, I wasn’t going to sign the papers, that I felt too loyal to the family.

But he didn’t give me a chance, so it felt like the universe was telling me to move on and do my own thing.”

Within 30 days of Fiore’s closing, Strada was open. “I had no concept, I had no name, but I had a staff that was super loyal and eager to work. They cleaned tables and moved stuff around, and I just kept paying them until we could open.” Shortly after Strada was up and running, he began revamping Sazarac to turn it into the Social Lounge.

Fred Cerrato passed in 2015, and his wake was held before a packed congregation at the Basilica of St. Lawrence. “When it came down to it,” recalls Anthony, “we really did enjoy each other’s company, we just didn’t enjoy working with each other. We spent a lot of time with each other and had a lot of conversations; it’s all water under the bridge. This whole thing with my father was a blessing in disguise, because now my son and I work together, it’s like pressing the rewind button on my life. I moved from New Jersey to work at my dad’s Italian restaurant when I was 18 going 10

on 19, and Gabe moved from Raleigh to work at my restaurant when he was 18 going on 19.” Anthony’s been able to apply those lessons from his father, examples of both what to do, and what not to do in a family business.

I find it important to point out the elephant in the room here: the all too familiar conflict and connection between a father and a son, a trade and a passion, a job and a lifestyle. What keeps us coming back? What are these ties that tether us to our families and to our careers? I’ve come to an understanding that for people like Anthony Cerrato, it is a deep consciousness that all of that struggle, tension, and pain can bring you a better understanding of and connection to both the people you love and the thing you do for a living; that cultivating both work and family are hard, and take their toll on a person, but that the ways it shapes you, both as a professional and as a friend, are totally worth all of those scars.

“I learned a whole lot of what not to do from my dad,” says Anthony, “and I think that is really important. Life doesn’t teach you how to live, you just live it. So there’s no mistakes, there’s just lessons. Some lessons are more costly than others, some hurt more than others, but we get through it.”

Small Batch Wine Production in the River Arts District article and photos by tiffany narron

NESTLED UP NEXT TO RIVERVIEW STATION and within walking distance to Foundation Skatepark, 12 Bones BBQ, Wedge Brewing and a treasure trove of potters and woodworkers, you’ll now find an urban winery tucked within the former Paneling World. Tagged with fresh artwork from several of the same noteable local artists you’ll find spread throughout the Foundation Spot, including noteable Muralist Ian Wilkinson and Graffiti Artist Gus Cutty, the 10,000 square foot space blends right into its new home in the River Arts District. Plēb Urban Winery opened its doors to the community in September, 2018. Notice that little line or macron, over the ē. When pronouncing, that gives you a long latin vowel, producing an eeee, so the name has less of an eh and more of an eeeee like you’re squealing with excitement. Let’s say it together for good measure, Plēbian. Or as Executive Manager Lauren Turpin’s shirt reads on the day of their grand opening “Bitch Plēb.”

12

FOODLIFEMAG.COM | FALL 2018

So what’s this plēb stand for? If you’ve got a little ancient Roman history tucked away, you’ll remember that the plebeians were the working class heroes of their time — the bakers and growers, the builders and craftsmen. They were the folks growing and making the wine for the privileged patrician class to enjoy. The four person team at plēb wants to honor this very same class of folks in our local and regional space by supporting small growers of native, niche grape varieties and experimenting with small batch wine production that doesn’t adhere to big wine blends while educating locals “and not taking themselves too seriously” adds Lauren, who runs the space alongside her husband Lee Turpin.

The remaining plēbians in this quartet are Head Vintner Chris Denetia, and Assistant Winemaker and Sommelier Tyler Kay, both 29 and longtime friends, having grown up together in the central valley of California. Although they were around the farming aspect of wine when they were small, they didn’t

VISIT PLEBURBANWINERY.COM

become as interested in the process until their time at Sonoma State College when they both began working at wineries.

Denetia went on to travel and work on organic wine farms via WWOOF (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms), an online network that connects volunteers to opportunities to live and work on organic farms. Kay continued working in wine shops in Wyoming, Montana and Colorado, earning his sommelier certification, and figuring out his style and how he wanted to approach winemaking. It wasn’t long after moving to Asheville that Denetia met Turpin through a mutual con-

nection and shared his idea for an Asheville winery. Having spent some time working in breweries herself, and with a similar vision, she was on board to help bring that vision to life.

So what made two friends from wine country decide to open a winery in the mountains of North Carolina, I asked him? “Well I was working in a winery in Boone with the growers and just saw an opportunity that I felt no one else saw — to grow certain types of grapes, if you just embrace what grows well and don’t force an idea of what you like to drink based on what you know,” shares Denetia.

According to Denetia, many farmers have trouble selling obscure grape varieties that grow well here to the local and regional wineries because they don’t fit the flavor profiles of the big wines that most know and are looking for, like cabernet sauvignon or merlot. If the wineries can’t sell it, they can’t purchase the lesser known grapes from these small scale growers, so they’re left no other option but to grow the varieties that suit the flavor profiles of the more well known wines. Without the support to grow those lesser known grape varieties, they’re simply phased out of local growers’ repertoires, leaving little room for experimentation and little opportunity to support small scale FALL 2018 | FOODLIFEMAG.COM

farmers attempting to grow native grapes. Understanding what those grape varietals are, treating them with the same respect as the grapes that fit the flavor profiles of well known wines, and supporting the farmers growing them is exactly the impetus for the creation of plēb. In fact, the team was able to source 100% of their grapes from North Carolina-based farms, one of which is their own five-acre Boone vineyard.

I walk into their graffiti’d production space and all three begin to laugh at a mural painted by Wilkinson of Kay scared with an open mouth screaming, apparently based off a photograph taken after he’d left a haunted house near Niagara Falls. Apparently they jotted down a collective list of characters and ideas for local artists, Cutty, Wilkinson and Melt, and the result is a total range of hilarious old photo recreations of favorite movie characters like Ralph from A Christmas Story to The Professor and The Blob. Even the light fixtures and forklifts are tagged.

Denetia walks over to open the lid of a large white box and inside lie hundreds of grapes. He picks up a cluster from their recent harvest in the high country, where both he and Kay manage two wineries, one in Boone and one in Deep Gap. “It just seemed like the whole industry is being boxed out,” he shares. “That style of wine production misrepresents what is doing well, and so we’re losing growers that were growing the right things for this area, yet they can’t make any money 14

FOODLIFEMAG.COM | FALL 2018

growing these grapes because they’re undesirable. No one has heard of them and no one is asking for them.”

They hope to change that by providing a space to create experimental local wines based on native grape production that supports small scale grape growers. They chose Asheville, and more specifically the River Arts District, because they knew if anyone would be into supporting the process of finding the grapes that grow well here, experimenting with local grape varieties and paying for a glass that supports those small scale growers, it would be the same people who mark their calendars for weekly farmers markets and go out of their way to buy $5 pints of IPAs utilizing local hops, barleys and fruits.

“Education is an important value to us,” shares Tyler. “We’re hoping to do harvest events where people can actually come harvest grapes at the farms and vineyards and then be able to see it through production to the final product.”

For now, you can kick back and enjoy a glass of wine from small-scale North Carolina growers and attempt to find the 22 blackbirds artist Ian Wilkinson painted into little nooks and crannies within the space.

“I suggest trying to find them while you drink your first glass of wine and not your third,” says Turbin.

indulge in something local with this assortment of recomendations from Metro Wines photos by TIFFANY WELSH We Ashevillians love to shop local. We support local restaurants and retailers, buy local produce from the Farmers’ market and avoid nationwide chains whenever we can. But when it comes to wine, we reach for a bottle from the West Coast or from Europe. It’s ok, I’m guilty of this too.

I’ll admit it, I wasn’t always a believer in North Carolina wine. When I heard the words “local” and “wine” collide in a sentence, it brought to mind syrupy sweet muscadine wines and weak, acidic reds made from Catawba, Chambourcin and other strange and scary unfamiliar names.

Fortunately for us, local wines have gotten less sweet, more robust and complex and very, very drinkable. Here are a few of my favorites.

FOODLIFEMAG.COM | FALL 2018

LEARN MORE AT METROWINESASHEVILLE.COM

➊ Biltmore Blanc

de Blanc Sparkling Wine It’s hard to talk

about local wine without mentioning the multimillion-dollar elephant in the room. Biltmore is the most visited winery in the US, largely due to the popularity of the famous house and property. They have to make a lot of wine to satisfy all of those visitors, but despite the volume of wine produced, they actually make some very good wines.

We were blind tasted with their Blanc de Blanc Sparkling wine, which is produced from 100% North Carolina Chardonnay, in a lineup of bubblies from around the world, including true Champagne. We were shocked at the quality of this sparkler!

It stood up to some famous (and expensive) Champagnes as well as some of the best from California.

It shows flavors of under-ripe peach, green apple, and finishes with a slightly slatey-stone mineral flavor. I prefer to serve this wine as an aperitif to start off a meal or party, but serve this with fried chicken for a seriously great food pairing.

Seriously, it’s a surprisingly good combination! $23

➋ Burntshirt Grüner Veltliner

If you haven’t had Grüner Veltliner before you owe it to yourself to try out this food friendly Sauvignon Blanc-alternative and Burntshirt produces a great example of one. Being a native grape of Austria, Grüner prefers a cool climate and this one is grown on a high-altitude vineyard outside of Hendersonville, NC.

Clean and crisp, with flavors of citrus peel, white peach, wet stone and even a hint of fresh arugula. This wine is an ideal pairing with salads and vegetables, including the famously hard-to-pair-with Asparagus, but also does very well with shellfish, and even pork chops. $25

➌ Shelton

Chardonnay

Shelton has been a staple at Metro Wines since we have opened. Shelton Vineyards is one of the first to open up in Yadkin Valley North Carolina, just a few hours East of us here in Asheville. This one is aged in oak barrels, but they also make a version aged in stainless steel if buttery wine isn’t your thing. It’s getting difficult to get a decent bottle of Chardonnay from California for under $15 these days, so it’s impressive to see a local one at $13.99! This wine shows flavors of pineapple and apricot, citrus, vanilla and a hint of toasted marshmallow.

Pair this wine with roasted whole chicken, cedar plank grilled salmon, grilled grouper or creamy pasta alfredo. $13.99

➍ Sanctuary

wine that they are producing in the sandy soils of Jarvisburg is simply astounding! John, the winemaker and Certified Sommelier, is experimenting with some truly interesting varietals ranging from Albarino to Tannat.

The Coastal Collage is a Bordeaux style blend of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petite Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon. This medium bodied red shows flavors of dark berries, dried cherries, violets and baking spices with a slightly tannic finish. This wine will happily keep your burger company, but is refined enough to be served with Filet Mignon, or even mushroom pasta. $23

➎ St. Paul Mountain

Vineyard “Chestnut Gap” Cabernet Sauvignon Just

outside of Hendersonville, NC is the family owned and operated St. Paul Mountain vineyards. I recommend visiting them and trying both their wines and their ciders. It can be challenging to pull off a Cabernet in the relative cool of our mountains, but I think they have done well, possibly by blending in some Petite Verdot, which adds structure to the reds in Bordeaux.

Less opulent and fruity than a Napa Cab, it has a slightly Old-World flavor to it that I immediately took to. Flavors of black cherry dominate, with subtle earth, black tea and a whiff of exotic spices. This wine cries out for steak, pot roast, short ribs or lamb. $23

Vineyards Coastal Collage So, this wine

isn’t from Western North Carolina. In fact it’s from far to the east, in the Outer Banks. I think they are one of the best wineries in North Carolina right now, and fortunately they were not affected by hurricane Florence. The quality of

10 Wine Bars with Great Food in Asheville by stu helM Hey, just because I don’t drink, doesn’t mean I don’t know where to drink. It’s true, I quit drinkin’ about 7 years ago, and even when I did drink, I rarely drank wine. And by rarely, I mean never. I was a beer drinker, 100 percent, and back in those days I literally couldn’t have cared less about wine bars, but now that I don’t drink, I go to more wine bars than ever!

For the food. Here are some recommendations for food at wine bars, plus a few other wine-oriented recommendations for you, including one new place that even I haven’t checked out just yet!

1) Santé Wine Bar

I think of Santé as the OG wine bar of downtown Asheville, and I’ve been going there for quite a long time, mostly for the pizza! My favorite is the “Ham & Fig” pizza, which has figs, prosciutto, Holly Grove chevre, and house chutney, with an olive oil santeavl base. The pizzas are small, perfect for one person or a small snack for two! The other flavors of pizza are great too!

2) Rustic Grape Wine Bar

I popped into the brand new Rustic Grape on South Lexington Ave. just to say hi to the two owners, Patty and Melissa, and was surprised to hear that this tiny little wine bar also has a small food program! I was even more surprised when I tried one of their scratch-made biscuits rusticgrapeavl and, wow, it was amazing!

Crispy on the outside, and soft and flakey on the inside, salty, buttery ... mmm! Patty does “Bubbles ‘n’ Biscuits” every Sunday, pairing three mini biscuits with three min-mimosas!

3) Cúrate Vermutería y Jamonería When the Chef Katie Button expanded the space for Cúrate, she added the vermutería y jamonería, which is basically a vermouth and ham bar! Most of us have only ever tried Italian vermouth, which is herbaceous to the point of tasting

medicinal, and not very popular with Americans. Spanish vermouth is a whole different story, and Cúrate keeps both red and white Spanish vermouth on tap. Of course, I’ve never tried it, and sadly never will, but I have tried the ham, and it is amazing! 100% pure ibérico pigs, acorn fed, and curatetapasbar free range, from the Jabugo and Salamanca regions of Spain. I recommend the “tabla de jamónes,” which allows you to compare the different ham selections!

4) 5 Walnut Wine Bar & Cheese Shop

We all know that wine and cheese are besties from way back, and it’s really nice to see that they’ve finally moved in together and started cohabitating at 5 Walnut Street. The atmosphere is cute as can be, and quite packed at times, as it is a favorite of both the locals and people visiting Asheville. I 5walnutwinebar recommend the “Local Yokel” cheese plate, featuring three local cheeses!

5) Strada Italiano I bring food tours into Strada, and although I have obviously never tasted their wine, I can tell by the nodding heads of my tour patrons and the smiles on their faces, that they enjoy the wines Strada serves us. In this one case, I can actually recommend a wine by name! Even if I can’t pronounce it. La Fiera Montepulciano d’Abruzzo is an affordable, popular wine, that is sometimes called the “pizza wine,” because it goes so well with pizza, and has broad appeal across many palates. I honestly don’t know jack about wine, so please don’t hate on me if you don’t like this wine.

About 99% of the people on my tour do, so it seems like a good one to share! stradaasheville

6) French Broad Chocolates

One of the most fun and satisfying things that wine lovers can do in this town is to sit inside the French Broad Chocolate Lounge, pairing wine and chocolate. Talk to the super-friendly and knowledgeable staff, and they will set you up with some good stuff for sure. If you wanna cut to the chase and get wine and chocolate all in one small but amazing package, try the seasonal fall fig + port truffrenchbroadchocolate fle, which has dark chocolate ganache with figs roasted in port wine, coated in dark chocolate, and topped with a slice of almond. Yom!

7) All Souls Pizza

Again, I have never sipped even one drop of wine at All Souls Pizza, but I am a very good judge of how happy my GF Dawn is with her glass of wine, and whenever we go to All Souls (which is frequently) she looks very happy with her glass of allsoulspizza wine. She’s got a guy. He never steers her wrong. His name is Chad, and he is one of the best Front of the House people you’ll ever meet. Friendly, dapper, professional, with a dry wit, and very good wine sense. Go talk to Chad, and he will — according to Dawn — hook you up with a killer glass of wine. Now, for food, I highly recommend the specials board at All Souls, where the creative, super-fresh and seasonal ingredients all come together, making this one of my absolute favorite restaurants in Asheville.

8) Underground Cafe

theundergroundcafe828

Who says wine in a can ain’t no good? Certainly not Chef Jay Medford, owner of the Underground Cafe, and graduate of the French Culinary Institute!

A local boy who learned how to cook all fancy up there in New York City, Jay worked in high-end

restaurants and recently moved back to Asheville and opened this excellent lunch and breakfast joint. The Underground has become one of my favorite places to eat, with insanely tasty doughnuts, some of the best burgers in town, and a meatloaf sandwich to die for. There are also very good canned wines for regular folks, produced by The Great Oregon Wine Co. If you wanna go full-on wine crazy at the Underground, try a can of Pinot Grigio with one of Chef Jay’s mimosa glazed doughnuts, made with real Prosecco!

9) Bhramari Brewing Company

Now, this one isn’t actually wine, but it is sangria ... of a sort. At Bhramari they have a piece of equipment called an infusion tower, in which a choice beer can be infused with various flavors, generally citrus ie: lemon and lime wedges, but bhramari_brewingco sometimes they get creative (bacon) and sometimes they make what they call their “Hillbilly Sangria.” The infusion tower is stuffed full of sangria fruits, and, brace yourselves, PBR. Yerp. Try it sometime, and of course, pair it with the Bhramari burger, which is my #1 burger in Asheville as of right now.

10) District Wine Bar

The other day I walked from my house on South French Broad Ave. over to West Asheville, and on my way back I noticed a brand new place called District Wine Bar. When I got home I wrote them a note, inquiring about food, and I got a lot of great info from manager Lauri Nichols: “We have a cold kitchen. We serve American Pig Charcuterie, cheeses from around the globe and getting ready to start featuring a local cheese of the month. Our spreads include, our house-made pimento cheese, roots hummus and a spinach artichoke dip. Our fresh country loaf is made from a real local Frenchmen with a passion, Dom Viol.
