We stopped here en route to St Louis as it was only a 10 min turnoff from the interstate. Go down a…read morelovely road, surrounded by trees which reminded me of Tuscany (except these aren't poplar trees) and you come to a collection of buildings on the right. So driving up, it was immediately apparent there was no grapevines in the surrounding fields!!!! Puzzled over this, we asked at the wine rating table (limit of 4 tastings in a plastic cup which you have to reuse) and found out they lost their harvest a couple years back and since then the grapes are grown in other locations and then the wine is made by them with the purchased grapes. Of the 4 I tasted, my preference was for the semi-dry whites with the Edelweiss and the Apple being favorites. I did not care for the fruit ones - found them musty and with a slightly sour aftertaste. To get the food, you order inside, are given a number, have to grab plates and utensils from a back table and the find a seat. We decide to sit on the back porch where the strains of the live band reached our table but not so loud that we couldn't talk. Food wise, our party of 3 split Grilled chicken salad (half-size @ $5) and veggie pizza (large @$17) and rather than paying $4 per glass of Seyval Blanc, just got the bottle for $17. Surprised to note we got charged $1 for glass of water but hey it would be €8 for half a liter bottle in EU so this was way better! Anyway salad was decent as was the think crust veggie pizza. Our crust edge was TOTALLY burnt, which I was disappointed at. Decent food and fun way to while away the time if you are in the area. Note: #293 of Yelp 100 challenge for 2016

This patio has beautiful Wisteria growing all throughout it which makes it very inviting to sit and enjoy a drink. The inside space is very very small and with the couch made it seem like someone might be living there. It looks like there might have been a bunk upstairs as a nearby ladder implied. The tastings were very sparing which was disappointing. This was in comparison to other tastings offered on the trail. This was a turn off and we did not purchase any bottles. The host was nice, as was the friendly dog that was on site. I just felt like the wine I did not have to take home. The decor inside seemed like it was a menagerie of stuff that had been collected from the owners worldy travels. It didn't really fit into the space because it wasn't related to wine or wine making. Would I stop again? Sure. Would I not stop again? Sure.

(There was a baby shower in progress.) We were still able to find a table. There are outdoor seating options but it was too cold. The service was quick and efficient. Their wine flights are organized in a cute carrier, and it was only $10 for a flight. You do have to check your empty flight back in to get your deposit back. It was not the best wine on the trail, in my opinion. There was some cute wine merchandise, similar to what is sold at other wineries. The women's bathroom was spacious and clean. I would return, especially on a warm day when the patio is open.
