A picturesque view of Hermann from Stonehill Winery
The first one we drove to was Stonehill Winery, but the crowd was so large there, we decided to drive on to the next one, which was Adam Puchta Winery. It was a nice winery to visit, a lot of people were having picnics on the grounds and they offered you as many tastes as you wanted. The dry wines weren't up to our standards and the sweet wines were interesting, but we decided not to buy any.
The vines sure looked healthy and were loaded with grapes
This place had very nice picnic grounds and room for two more at the bar.
Bob's going in to belly up to the bar.
We then drove the rest of the way to Independence and met Annette, Carol & Jerry at the Salty Iguna restaurant.
There were some interesting paintings inside the resturant.
And some interesting characters.
After dinner we all went to our hotel room to visit some more, although Carol & Jerry needed to leave soon as they are bottle feeding one of their calves.
After breakfast Sunday morning we headed for home. It was our intentions to stop and hike the bluffs near St. Louis, but the weather was iffy with off and on rain and I also had a sinus headache, so we decided to drive straight home. The boys greeted us like royalty when we got there at 9 p.m.
