Mount Pleasant Winery

Favorite Wine: Cabernet Sauvignon

Mt. Pleasant's big commercial enterprise nestled in the hills of the Missouri River Valley doesn't really portray the character of the area. We had to ask to have our glasses rinsed between the Brut and Norton tastings. The Norton was nothing very special, but the Cabernet Sauvignon was really nice. The tasting fee will cover five tastes, so if you only want the dry reds, you can have two big pours of the Cab, which I strongly recommend. My friend bought a semi-dry white that smelled like canned chicken.

Norton Wine Review: Mount Pleasant Winery, stately prominent on a hill in Augusta, MO provided ample parking access and accessibility for an elderly handicapped friend that joined us this day. Immediately a chair was offered to our friend at the tasting bar. They must have liked her smile since we were not asked for the imposed fee associated with this tasting. After being treated to Montelle & Augusta Norton wines a few hours earlier, the MPW Norton did not impress us with any uniqueness. If we had come here first, we might have gobbled up a couple bottles, but as it turned out, we preferred for sheer fun their sparkling "ten bucks" wine (picked up a case to be divided among friends) and their absolute stunning $$ Tawny Port. We enjoyed our introduction to this location by our friend.

The most commercial winery in Augusta. Charge for tasting AND reserved seating. If you can't bring in your own food, then you should call yourself a restaurant.

Staff was unfriendly, didn't try a single wine. Too commericial. Will never return.

They shouldn't charge for tasting, but they do. Wines are overpriced. They have a large variety though.
