The space is well laid out and organized making it easy to find old favorites and add one or two new ones to your list. I found wines from a few of my favorite wine makers. Theres also several lesser known wineries to explore. Prices are comparable to other shops in the area. I came away with a few new treasures.

The proprietor is German; he built the building to resemble a German winery about 40 years ago. The tasting room is small and will fit only a few people. It's naturally cool inside. Heinrich guided us through our tasting like an expert. He told us all about the grapes and the history of the winery. He showed us a book he has that details the history of American wines, specifically the Norton grape. He did the tastings in real glasses. Due to MO liquor license laws, they can't sell wine by the glass. However, there are picnic tables outside. Look out for their two pet cats who eat near the door. The male is a Norwegian forest cat and he is very friendly. I can't say enough good things. I hope to be back again later this year.

However you're in the middle of Missouri where grapes don't generate like traditional regions, and palettes are different. So if you're familiar with wineries and good wine this will be quaint but not your place. This is more of an event space with wine as an afterthought as evidenced by the gaggle of sororities and moms funneling in all day. Frankly, I was appalled at the event I attended for my daughters sorority. Everyone bought a $25 bottle of sweet or semi-sweet wine (that's this wineries specialty), dropped in a straw, and suckled their sippy cups. Their sweet wines are like wine coolers - and what college student doesn't like those? That should give context to the quality of wine and positioning of this space). Their traditional varietals all have sweet or fruit forward notes - Cabs are more like Pinots but lacking the depth and notes of a true spicy, bold cab. Past this, parking is like a festival, down a dirt road about a quarter mile walk from the front door. While I wouldn't return, it's a great place for an event and provides something unique to the area. And obviously the Greek system utilizes as a more sophisticated approach to the bars in Columbia.
