Mount Pleasant Winery









Yesterday was my first voyage to one of the many wineries Missouri has to offer. I had a great time, with a few minor exceptions. Like the HOUR LONG FUCKING line to buy wine at The Grocery, and the fact that I had to climb up a freaking gargantuan hill after sliding down it. That was the fun part, but climbing back up pretty much sucked. So it was me, Julie, Kelly, Mike, his girlfriend Nicole, Nathan, his friend Elliot, Vince, Ben, and their friends Chris and Jessica. So we got there about 12:45, Vince, Ben, and I did a wine tasting, then we all went outside. It was gorgeous! But the wind was insane. I have no idea how many glasses of wine I drank, but all I know is that I was absolutely trashed by 3pm. Vince, Ben, Mike, Nicole, and I left around 8, which I don't understand because the winery closed at 6. I'm still baffled as to how we didn't get kicked out. Anyway, besides Ben's drunk ass rolling down the gigantic hill, Ben and Mike almost getting into a brawl, and me needing to puke on the way home, it was a great time.
If I recall correctly, I really liked the Villagio, the Rhineland, and the Chardonnel. I am by no means a wine connosieur; I just go with whatever tastes good. I attempted the whole smelling, swirling thing, but that was all for show. I don't know shit about wine except that it gets you fucked up.
Anyway, I had a ball and I can't wait to do it again. Probably not until the spring will I be able to get back, so in the meantime I'll look forward to it.
