  WINEAUX'S RESTAURANT

     618-658-8353

Coming in June!  I will be entertaining and training a new vineyard keeper and wine master.  His name is Britain Fretz.  Stop in and share a hello to Britain.  By the way, Britain is my grandson who just finished the 9th grade in Sylvania Schools, a suburb of Toledo, Ohio.  When he becomes of age, he will take over the winery. 

Another note!  His mother, Traci Fretz will assume the direction of Wineaux's Restaurant in the future.  Traci is my daughter.  At that time I will retire. 

When traffic dictates, Wineaux's will be open on Wednesdays and Thursday early evenings  but will not serve the Dinner menu.  There will be a lighter type menu for these days

The Dinner menu will only be served on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.


       
          With special guests, vocalist Leslie Cox
           and Saxophonist Dan Kelley
 

  Special notice--Wineaux's Restaurant will be closed on Sunday, July 20, 2008 from 2:00 to 5:00 pm for a special occasion.  I'm providing a get-to-gather for the teachers, staff employees and Board members of Summersville Grade School in Mt Vernon  who were there when I was superintendent.  I want to honor these people for doing an outstanding performance (and say thanks) in the education of those students attending.  This was a great teaching and working staff and need to be honored.  I'm appreciative that I had the opportunity to work with such a great staff.

  We will only close the interior of the building.  The deck of the restaurant and winery will still be open to the public.   

It is here!!!  Wineaux's Restaurant

       Good news for wine drinkers.  We will start selling wine by the bottle for use at the table.   We also can serve the bottle in a bucket filled with ice.  This will keep it nice and cold while you use it.

    Swags will adorn the tops of the windows for a more dressier approach.    Outside lighting is being worked out and hopefully it will be up soon.


     Stop in and see us.

Sunday   11:00 am to  5:00 pm

Monday closed for rental

Tuesday closed for rental

Wednesday through Saturday

  11:00 am to 8:00 pm

Mark these times down or print off the times for your use.  Hope to see you here for an enjoyable meal.
