After attending two wine conferences in the first two weeks of April, I have been doing a lot more thinking about what I chose to drink. I admit that I have a love for foreign wines and most of my wine funds go there. But after hearing wineries speak with such passion about their product and hearing Todd Kilman ask why the localvore movement ignores local wine, I am determined to turn over a new leaf.
So while I a plan to cover more Missouri wines here and on my new #winechat page, I also want to put my grapes where my mouth is and start drinking more Missouri wines. So tell me, what do you drink? What's your favorite winery to travel to?
Baltimore Bend near Waverly.
ReplyDeleteHeinrichshaus near St. James.
Montelle when it is not a busy season.
Bias Winery in October.
Very excited for #winechat!
ReplyDeleteFirst we go to Hermanhoff and buy meat, bread, cheese, and mustard at their market. Then we go to Adam Puchta and sample every possible wine (the Riefenstaler and Vignoles are my favs). We buy a couple of bottles of wine and picnic outside.
