Rich History

In 1989, Thad’s devotion and Alice and Van’s determination earned the Angus Barn its first of 20 prestigious Grand Awards, the highest honor bestowed upon a restaurant wine cellar.Taking up the king-sized mantle Thad Eure, Jr. began required keen foresight and steely perseverance. Inspired by the first Grand Award and countless requests by guests to see wine in “the cages,” Alice and Van forged ahead with plans to create a wine cellar dining room. Within one year, intensive construction transformed a basement with cases and cases of wine stacked throughout into the new, temperature- and humidity-controlled home for the award-winning wine collection and a dining room fit for a monarch. At last, guests could tour the cellar or indulge in a luxurious, lengthy five- or six-course gourmet dinner paired with wines from an extensive international collection.​​
With two stately dining rooms commemorating the late Eures, Van and Steve reasoned that the most resourceful addition to the wine cellar dining rooms would be a kitchen. For such elegant, awe-inspiring dining rooms, not just any kitchen would suffice. Why not a kitchen accessible to wine cellar guests including a Captain’s Table where two to four guests could witness the preparation of food? Within months, the specially designed kitchen, featuring top-notch South Bend equipment, became reality.​Today, the Wine Cellar Kitchen bustles with reserved dinner parties prepared by the Wine Cellar kitchen chef and special events. With the completion of the Wine Cellar Kitchen, another chapter in the long, rich history of the Angus Barn began and Thad’s lifelong vision was fulfilled.Henrietta Mears wrote that hospitality should have no other nature than love. In the loving spirit of Thad and Alice Eure, welcome to their Wine Cellar Dining Rooms!
Coming to the Angus Barn, I always know it will be amazing and this was no different.  It was a first time experience for some of my friends and I don't think it will be the last. Drew, Harrison and Chris were on top of their game as always and I just wanted to share how wonderful they are. I so look forward to the upcoming email for the 2025 events and already know it will be another great year for spending time in the Wine Cellar Dining Rooms.
