While places like Stone Hill, Hermannhoff and Oak Glenn get all the attention the truly best wines in town are located just west of Hermann at Adam Puchta's winery. The Adams choice was practically flying off the shelf as was the sweet blackberry wine (I won't tell you how many bottles we have in our home right now ;P). This winery doesn't have the stunning vista of Oak Glenn or the historic wine tour of Stone Hill, but its wines are the best by far and I found the presenters at the wine tasting to be helpful and knowledgeable and more than just a little amusing. Adam Puchta has a small cafe (of sorts) on the premises and offers some of the best pizza in town. Bring your blanket and enjoy a yummy pizza and a bottle of Adam's choice on the hill out back with someone you want to get a good snuggle with and I think you will find this winery is all the substance without the glitz.
Pros: Great wine, helpful staff, loads of parking
Cons: little seating, except the ground
