About Us
Charlie and Diane Mounts live in Ponca City, OK. Charlie grew up in Pawhuska, OK and Diane in Tulsa. They met at Tulsa University, and moved to Ponca City in 1970 when Charlie started Mounts Oil Company.
While enjoying a beautiful evening outdoors, grilling with
friends and family the idea for a wind resistant, spill-proof
patio centerpiece was born.
Throughout the years Charlie and Diane Mounts have made many
friends throughout the community. Many have shared a steak on
the grill, some have even written poems, but most have come to
know the elegance of VinoGlo...Here are what some people had to
say.

Hello,
My name is Wenona Napolitano. I came across your Vinoglo oil
lamp kits while doing research for my book, The Everything
Green Wedding Book which is due out in December 2008.
I think the lamp kit is a great way to repurpose wine
bottles and keep them out of the trash. I also think that
wine bottles with your oil lamp kits would make elegant
centerpieces at weddings which I mentioned in my book.

Geez, we love our "thingamabob" ... we get
asked all the time where we got it. But last year we hooked
up a hot tub in backyard and one of the holders fell into
the snow .... then we think the dog got it and buried it!
I'm sure after summer is over I will get you a few more
referrals. We have a winery in Spokane that does these
Sunday night free concerts on a beautiful hillside chateau
.... bring your own picnic and drink their wine. We are
always one of maybe 5 people (of hundreds) who have a
similar contraption. Wish I had invented it!
- Diane
Yes, it was a perfect gift. We will recommend
your company to all our friends. Thanks for being so
professional and for making Valentine's so special.
- Tamera
I just placed my order and can not wait to
get everything set up. You were VERY helpful and I am glad I
decided to email and ask you questions. I will pass your
website on to friends... it is great!
Thanks again,
- Laurel
I received my order yesterday,
which was a great surprise for my wife. We kept the bottle of
2001 Caymus we had enjoyed for our 5th anniversary, and it looks
great outfitted with the VinoGlo. Rest assured we will be coming
back to you for gifts for our family, friends and clients who
share our love and appreciation for wine.
Regards,
- Larry
When VinoGlo goes "big-time" I want to be the marketing director as everyone I have shown mine to has purchased. I have had guests from Texas all the way to Ohio who now own one or more
VinoGlos.

I was fortunate to have been one of your first customers a couple of years ago, and purchased several kits for friends here in Edmond and Oklahoma City. They made excellent Christmas gifts, and my wife and I were able to see your product in our friends homes, displayed and lit! We received many appreciative comments . This experience prompted us to order another ten sets as I recall, and we continue to surprise friends and family with this unique item. I'm delighted that you have continued to expand and diversify the bases, mantle and wicks to accommodate various size wine bottles and decor's. As I now view your expanded web site, I am motivated to order additional sets in several configurations and styles. I'll get my list together and you will be hearing from me soon!

VinoGlo! Perfect for the sophisticated patio!
- Lynda Clark
Over the weekend I collected every candle I had dispersed
throughout our inn and put them in storage. We love VinoGlo and will use only these products from now on!
Sincerely,
- Pam Wakefield

I can't believe that I received such a quick
response from you and your colleague, Diane. Customer service
isn't what it used to be and I am very impressed at your
customer service.
Thanks again and Merry Christmas!
- Lisa
My pleasure. Everyone that comes to the house
loves them. There always a big hit.
- Tim
They LOVED it (VinoGlo garden stand)! They'd never seen anything like it. Last year when they were building I told them to get an outdoor fireplace, which they did. So now they can sit in their lounge chairs by the fire, sipping a fine wine and not have to worry about where to put the glass...or the bottle!

Thank you again, I'll keep you posted on the reactions of their friends and be sure to recommend
VinoGlo to mine.
Take care,
- Ellen
It was an anniversary present for my sister and brother-in-law, they loved it.
We'll order again soon, I'm sure.
