Another Great Customer Story to Share

I always enjoy taking some time to meet and talk to as many of our customers as possible. Unfortunately when we are busy, that isn't always possible. Recently though, one evening before our dinner rush, I was able to meet a man and visit with him. His story was very interesting and he gave me permission to share it here. His name is Gene Scheiter and he lives down in the Lake of the Ozarks area. Mr. Scheiter is a Driving instructer and he teaches a driving safety program all over the state. In his travels, he has begun an interesting quest to collect bottles of wine from each and every one of the 75 registered wineries in Missouri.

On the visit to Little Hills, he selected a nice bottle of our Main Street Red, which is a nice chilled semi sweet red.

Mr. Scheiter's began this journey after first having an interest in collecting beer bottles and cans from around the world. He has been on his beer collecting treasure hunt for almost a year. He currently has between 1300-1400 beer bottles and cans, all empty, in his collection. He got the idea for collecting full wine bottles after visiting a micro brewery that also made their own wine and thought it would be fun to collect only Missouri Wine. His wife isn't as excited about his hobby as he is and therefore his collection is forced to live in his basement. He is wanting to build display cabinets to show off his collection.

His visit to Little Hills gave him his 30th bottle. When he left our winery and restaurant in Saint Charles he promised me to come back sometime soon with his wife so he could have her meet someone who didn't think his hobby was so strange.
