In our quest to visit every Missouri winery, we headed for Summit Lake Winery in Holts Summit, MO.
Biker Alert: Very short gravel drive off the paved road up to the winery.
We were greeted by the adorable Kayla, who said that she was “delighted to be number 42” on our passport list. And we believed her! She knowledgeably guided us through the wine tasting, taking her time with us while keeping her eye on her lunch customers. While we met many kind, friendly, and informed people at the wineries we visited this weekend, Kayla was our favorite by far.
Shout out to Kayla! Out of our 10 or so winery visits this weekend, she was our favorite and a real jewel!
The winery has a comfortable view from the porch, and boasts a varied menu. We are told that sometimes Missouri elected officials take a quick respite from their grueling schedule to take the 10 minute trip from Jefferson City to the Summit Lake Winery.
Wine Favorites:
Babe: Callaway Bluff. A semi-sweet white. Though typically a dry white drinker, Babe enjoyed this sweet refreshing wine on a 100 degree day! (Guy liked it to… a sit-on-your-back-porch-and-drink-a-wine- cooler type wine.)
Guy: Ideal With Friends. A drier red wine, and a real competitor to their St. Martin (Merlot style).
Cheers!
