My trip to Weston, Missouri and Pirtle Winery

Take a trip up to Weston, Missouri and visit our friends at Pirtle Winery! Mr. and Mrs Pirtle make some of the finest meads in the world along with Apple, Cherry, Blueberry, Mellow Red and a great Port. I recently took a drive up to Weston to visit the winery and taste some of the wonderful wines. Mrs. Patricia Pirtle, a dear friend of the family for over 30 years, was recently in a car accident and could not be at the winery but her great staff was very helpful and informative in my tasting. I tasted most of their meads and wines with my favorite being the Apple Wine and the Port.
After my tasting, I walked across the street to The Vineyards Restaurant and had a lovely lunch with my children. We all sampled each others fabulous entrees which included an Open Faced Balsamic Braised Beef Sandwich, Grilled Filet of Beef Tenderloin with Shallots and Mushroom Burgundy Sauce, Lemon Chicken Picata Pasta and a Tenderloin of Pork with Maple, Dijon and Molasses Sauce.
Kathleen at The Vineyards was a lovely host at this quaint historic restaurant.
Take a day and visit these two great landmarks just minutes from KC.
PS. The Pirtle Apple Wine went great with the Braised Beef!

I've been drinking Pirtle's wine for ten years now. I fell in love with the Mellow red and drank it until they came up with the Alhambra. I love their white wines too such as Weston Bend White. Go Pirtle's we love you!

We are from Winamac, Indiana and have been making trips to Westin for the past 15 years. It's a long drive but we have not found any better wine than what we get at the Pirtle winery. Also the small town is very interesting.

I don't drink. But I take all out of town guest to visit Pirtle's winery. It's quaint, the staff is friendly, and true wine drinkers from all over swear by the quality and tastefullness of the wines. Pirtle's wine makes wonderful wedding, house warming, Xmas and souvenir gifts.
