Santé Wine Bar, The Grove Arcade, Asheville NC - NOW serving wine on tap. Stop in Santé Wine Bar and ask what's on tap. Santé has joined a growing number of restaurants and drinking establishments that have kegs of wine behind their bars and are pouring wines by the glass from a tap. The trend is not a new one, but its time has come as wineries, restaurants and consumers discover that the wines are good and there are economic and environmental benefits to kegs. Keg wines are fresh and delicious - try them for yourself.
