And this Barrel Room Tasting experience, on the very first wine expedition I've ever hosted, stole the show. The price? Unheard of. An amazing deal. We were welcomed with sparkling wine when we arrived, then whisked away to their private cellar room, where all the small bites we'd be trying with each wine were already laid out. Our sommelier for the day was incredibly knowledgeable and kind, and he was great at teaching us about wine and the art of pairing. If you're looking for a unique wine experience in STL, you should absolutely visit.

I see they do have a shuttle but not sure how often it runs. Beautiful resturant with a nice selection of wine. We sat inside which was nice because it was humid outside. Unfortunately the flies were very worsom especially when trying to eat. That didn't stop us from having a good time though. Staff was very catering and attentive. I ordered a caesar salad with salmon which was cooked very well. The food was delicious as well as the wine. I ordered the wine flight with 3 pours. I will definitely return especially in the fall to see the beautiful colors.

This is a really nice place. I attended this for a really weird wedding reception…read more First let me say that the grounds were beautiful. But the people were not. The members were somewhat off-putting. The reception dinner had free wine / and beer outside. You had to pay for wine and cocktails in the hall. Not all that unusual from my experience. However you also had to pay for soda? I had heard that there was a charge for water, not sure on this. The food was ok for buffet food. Beef and overcooked chicken selection, pasta with a watery alfredo sauce. the scalloped potatoes were delicious. You had to request coffee with cake. Service was slowish and very inconsistent. One of our groups kids disappeared and we were looking for her. Again not all that unusual, (lol). This place does have a few more halls than your average reception hall. I ventured over to the "Member's only" section. I was given grief for coming over there until they heard the that a little girl was missing. They did not offer any help however? I did see a family sitting in different sections of the members only group. Adults and kids. They were essentially sneering at each other. I thought this was very odd. We found Libby and all was well. At the end of the reception with no regular supply of free non-alcoholic drinks, surprise there was an argument about the ownership of some golf carts left in front of the building with the keys in them. Surprise, Surprise, Surprise. This could have been avoided by the staff by putting the damn things away after dark, or how about taking the keys out of the ignition? I sure hope I am not invited to another wedding at this venue by close friends.

Her godfather took us to dinner at the downtown location shortly after we were married. My brother in law is a member. He has taken me there a few times to catch a shuttle to the Cardinals game and for after game drinks. But, I had never been to this location until now. My brother in law threw a very nice dinner party for my sister in law's 70th birthday. Coincidentally, the party was on my actual birthday, Veteran's Day. I kind of considered it my birthday party even though we were celebrating someone else. We started out in a nice room with a bar. They had a little table set up that had sugared bacon on a stick, cocktail shrimp, and toasted ravioli. I really enjoyed the bacon. It was nice and thick, and the piggy taste I like was not overtaken by the sweet glaze. The shrimp were huge and cooked to absolute perfection. The toasted ravioli were just "OK" in my book. Evidently, toasted ravioli is a St. Louis invention and very popular. I prefer mine boiled and covered in Mama's sauce. My brother in law had selected several wines for the party, but I don't like to drink wine in public other than a small glass or two with a meal. I prefer to drink beer because I know how to gauge what I am drinking and stick within my limit. Since it was an open bar, I went over and checked out the beers they had on draft. That is when I first encountered Karen Baldwin. She was so warm and friendly every time I ran into her in the club, that I made a point of asking her name. She helped me pick a beer that I really liked and stuck with the rest of the night. Eventually, a young fellow who seemed to be a manager, led us on a hike through the club to our private dining room. It was nicely decorated and very comfortable. I sat at a table of eight with my wife, her sister, her cousin and his wife, and two of my sister in law's close friends. The first thing they brought out to us was a salad. I liked the way they served all of the ladies at our table first. The salad looked really delicious and had what looked like a huge meatball in it. My wife had read her place card and saw that it was actually a personal-sized cheese ball. It was goat cheese covered with chopped nuts. I smashed it and made sure I had a bit of it on every bite of the salad. It was a salad I will always remember. They also gave us the most heavenly little rolls to go with it. The entree that my brother in law selected was filet mignon and HUGE scallops served with a risotto. I traded my filet for my wife's scallops, as she doesn't like any kind of seafood. Those scallops were the best I have ever eaten. When my sister in law asked if I wanted her last one, I shamelessly took it and scarfed it down. The risotto was not the best I have ever had, but it was good. I think my "scallop high" probably overshadowed it. After dinner, they moved us to an outdoor patio area. It was a little chilly for this Texan, and the gas heaters were evidently just for looks. You could actually touch the glass that covered them. I went in and sat at a table in the bar with my wife's cousin. Once again, Karen Baldwin appeared and took care of us. Although she stands out in my mind, everyone that served us was wonderful. All in all, I thought everything was really nice. It was all very classy, but to me, that has always been a description for St. Louis in general. It is a classy town!
