General Membership Meeting
Tues July 8th
7:00 pm

Six Row Brewing Company, 3690 Forest Park Ave., St. Louis

The St. Louis Audi Club is becoming known in the St. Louis car club world as the club that meets at some of the best places in town.  Thanks to Board members Pam Browning and Jerry Hogan, we continue that tradition in July by holding our meeting at Six Row Brewing Company on Forest Park Ave. near St. Louis University. 

Six Row Brewing Company produces quality ales from the site of the old Falstaff Brewery in the Midtown area of St. Louis, near St. Louis University. Our Old Plant No. 1 Pub is open to the public and features craft brewed beers along with selections from other craft breweries and wineries. 

Tuesday night is Pitcher NIght featuring specials on pitchers from 4 to 8 pm.

We will be in the upstairs meeting room.  Be sure to come out and check another of St. Louis' best microbrewers.

Ste. Genevieve Wine Tour
Sat July 12th
11:00 am

Meet at Home Depot, 1131 W Gannon, Festus, MO (Just off I-55)

Charleville Vineyard and Microbrewery, 16937 Boyd Road, Ste Genevieve County, MO

A new addition to the St. Louis Audi Club calendar, on this first trip we'll tour some if the best driving roads in Southeast Missouri on our way to the one of the best known and finest wineries in the Ste. Genevieve area.  The Charleville Vineyard is on MIssouri's Route du Vin, one of several wine trails in Missouri which includes 6 distinctive wineries from Ste Genevieve to Farmington. 

Drawing inspiration from the land and from family heritage, owners Jack and Joal Russell pride themselves on offering distinctive, hand-crafted wines and microbrewed beers in a relaxed atmosphere. Located in the western part of Ste. Genevieve county, family owned and operated Charleville Vineyards features a tasting room and patio in a rustic country setting high above the Saline Creek Valley. A beautifully refurbished 1860’s log cabin adjacent to the tasting room serves as a two-room Bed & Breakfast for guests on weekends.

Come enjoy the sights, sounds, and seasons of a working vineyard. Bring a picnic lunch or sample cheese and sausage from our tasting room,take a hike on nearby trails, or sit by the bonfire on a chilly evening. Limited tastings are only $3.00 at Charleville and we are happy to share information about our wines and the grapes that make them so special.

This will be a typical Steve Warren trip, so expect challenging, but safe, roads and some beautiful scenery.  The last 2 miles of the trip are on a well maintained gravel road.  With Quattro, that shouldn't bother you.  Just let your inner Walter Rohrl or Michele Mouton come out to play!  Once we get to Charleville, expect to see a beautiful vista from the outdoor seating.  There are about seven wines and 4-6 different beer to try but food is limited.  If crackers, cheese and sausage will satisfy, Charleville has got you covered, if not, this is one of the few remaining wineries that allow you to bring your own food.

Enjoy a great afternoon of driving followed by wine, music and fun.  Contact Steve & Gail Warren by email or at (314) 894-1541 to RSVP.

St. Louis Metro Cars & Coffee
Sat, July 19th
7:45 - 9:45 am

Starbucks, 9616 Manchester Rd., Rock Hill

The fourth Cars and Coffee of the season will be held on Saturday, July 21th at the Starbucks in the Market at McKnight
shopping center at 9616 Manchester - just west of the McKnight / Rock Hill Road intersection.

Due to the popularity of this event, the organizers, in cooperation with the merchants and owners of the Market at McKnight, have made a few changes to the format. Many of these changes were in place in June and worked well.

• NEW TIME - 7:45 to 9:45 am
• We will now end at 9:45 a.m. instead of 10. This will allow for more parking for Market at McKnight merchants, from whom we borrow the lot and pay nothing. This is not a public park - we are guests there.
• Leave 4 empty spaces in each row in front of ALL businesses...down the entire “shop road” on that south side of the lot. This is very important!
• Any parking in any handicap or employee parking spots will result in a parking ticket.
• As you see someone arriving, please tell others to not park in the open spaces in front of the merchants.

Cars & Coffee is a fun, low-key event. Everyone gathers early on Saturday, rain or shine, to just enjoy our cars, have coffee and get out and drive when traffic is a LOT less. It starts early...and ends early so everyone back home is happy that you are not wasting the whole day. Stay for the morning, or leave when you must.

Open to all makes & marques. Cars & Coffee not a show or concourse. It’s just a gathering of auto enthusiasts enjoying “Cars & Coffee”. For information, visit www.facebook.com/groups/stlmetrocarsndcoffee
