As part of an informal wine tasting tour across central Missouri, we wanted to check out The Tasting Room based upon reviews / selection. Unfortunately, the experience wasn't what we had hoped for. As our group of three approached the entrance, there was another group who were was seated at an outdoor table with two "support" dogs.
Suddenly, one of the dogs when into attack mode, of course going after the individual in our group who is deathly afraid of dogs. Neither dog was on a leash, but instead of getting up to control the dog, it was somehow our fault for startling their dog. While one in our group stepped forward to confront the dog, the other escorted our shaken friend inside. Obviously, any tasting was secondary at this point. Having seen what occurred, the hostess profusely apologized & offered a complementary glass.

As an example, Mount Pleasant Estates in Augusta, MO, has very prominent signage indicating that while service animals are welcome, based upon a similar episode to what we experienced, "support" pets are not allowed.

Read moreThis is the second time I’ve visited the Les Bourgeois tasting room & both times I’ve LOVED it.
First of all, Vicki is amazing! She has a consistent positive vibe and was a memorable part of the equation.
Secondly, the wine tasting is super affordable!! 4 wines for $5!
I’ve found wines unlike others I’ve ever tasted and I always leave with at least two bottles.
Some of my faves are the Solay, Rose, Chamborcin, Jeunette Rouge and Malbec.
The shopping area is darling also. I love getting a sticker or a little souvenir to take home also.
Such a fun stop! Do...
