It used to be an old trading post and homestead at an orchard as I recall. Then, they turned into a restaurant. They served cool apple cider in the foyer and had little guys walk around with fresh, hot apple muffins right out of the oven. Nice menu, excellent wine list.

I really liked the place and would enjoy taking the beautiful, elegant, and witty Mrs. Fax there someday if it's still there. And I can find it again.

It's at 16401 E. US Hwy 40. It looks like it is still there. It is spelled Stephenson's Apple Farm. Google it for details.

Fax, you know I've been in your court for a long time.

I wouldn't return to Stephensons if they were giving away food. You'd have to pay me $50 an hour to sit in their sauna and eat their food.

Granted, the food is pretty good. Every other variable in that hellhole is sub-par.

FAX, it's still there. Just off Lee's Summit Rd. I think on Hwy. 40 (really in Independence). Take Noland south of I-70 to Hwy. 40 (Hyvee, Olive Garden at corners) and turn left (east) on 40. It'll be on your right (south).

Had a bottle of La Crema 2004 Pinot Noir last night. Sonoma County. Very tasty and got it at Costco for $13. I do enjoy wine...

It is still there...down the street from my parents place not to far. I have had some good experiences and bad experiences there...it can be pretty good.

Oh and the original post...

I haven't been there in 20 years, Mr. Phobia, so I wouldn't know how they are today. I didn't even know they were still there. The wine subject brought it to mind. Maybe it got too commercialized? Maybe they lost their HVAC consultant?

Things change, I suppose. But, I have good memories. It may have had something to do with the girl I took there the last time.

I'm sorry you had a bad experience and will petition them immediately for compensation.

Hogue is generally a good bottle. I haven't had a bad one yet.

A great value is Jest Red. Simple red table wine, $8 a bottle. Very drinkable everyday wine.

A little more expensive that I love is the Marquis Phillips Cabernet.

Bogle has a very nice petite shiraz if you like a red that tastes like a red.

A wine I drink a lot of is BV ( Beaulieu Vineyards ) Coastal Cabernet. You kind find it for $7-$8 a bottle and it is very smooth and drinkable. The "Coastal" label is their cheaper wines. The regular BV is much more expensive.

That one has a bit of cooked vegatable flavor to it, not a flavor I particularly look for in a wine. I can drink it, but the wife won't.

" Cooked vegetable flavor..." I do not think that would be a flavor I would be looking for myself.
