Where Can I Find Gelato

Looking for a place that has gelato in or near Charlotte, NC. And a restaurant for real food to go with it. For my birthday dinner/lunch some friends want to take me out to eat. I've never had gelato and they think that's just crazy and want to take care of that. Only problem is that we don't know where to get it in or near Charlotte, NC.

So, where's a good place to get gelato in Charlotte? And if you're feeling very nice or informative, where's a good restaurant for us to get real food. Bonus points if they're within walking distance of each other, and even more bonus points if they're the same place. I'm not a stickler for a type of food, and really like trying new places.

I once tried some "gelato" at a local cafe that wasn't really gelato, but sort of a gooey, stretchy, almost toffee-like ice-cream. Does it have a name?

Can I susbstitute Gluhwein for Ginger wine? [more inside] I'm making pears and ginger gelato for Christmas, and the recipe calls for poaching the pears in "Stones Ginger Wine". Can't find it locally, Gluhwine is the best I can do. Are they similar enough or should I keep looking?
