Enjoy Peaceful Country Living and Great Food at the Wine Country Gardens

Wonderful Food is Served in the Patio Cafe
Lunch at Wine Country Gardens Patio Cafe
country living at it's best
Our first stop was the wine bar where we sampled three of the many wines that were offered. My favorite was a semi-sweet white German wine called Scheurebe-Kabinett-2005. The wine bar is set in a large room with big windows overlooking the valley. There are tables set about and you can also order from their appetizer menu and enjoy some nice treats with your wines. I would suggest their wonderful homemade chips and dips.
Next, we ordered our lunch. I ordered the special of the day, a chicken breast stuffed with sundried tomatoes and a brie cheese sauce. It was served with some great loaded mashed potatoes. The meal was very tasty and filling. At only $6.00 it was really a bargain.
My friends ordered the following sandwiches: Beef Tenderloin, The Defiance and the Portobello. Everyone ordered the homemade chips and all were pleased with their selections. All of the meals were under $10.
I'm looking forward to having lunch at the Wine country Gardens again and trying other menu items!

- Beautiful lens and looks like a wonderful place. I have a couple of friends in Defiance, so looks like time for a road trip to visit this place. In fact, I'm thinking of adding to my St. Louis site http://www.squidoo.com/st-louis a list of favorite day trips, and this would be perfect for that. Thanks!
