Our Wines

Dry Whites:

2007 Chardonnay  (With oak)  In 2007 we lost 80% of our grapes due to a spring freeze. Because of this we decided to bring in grapes from outside Missouri for the first time. The grapes for this wine came from a beautiful vineyard in Lake County, California. This is a very fruity wine with a touch of oak. $ 24.00

2007 Chardonnay (No oak)  This grape is also from they vineyard in Lake County, California.  Bright with a burst of citrus.  Great with seafood. $ 24.00

Dry Reds::

2006 Joie de Riviere  A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Malbec. This wine is fruitier than the Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc also with greater nuances. $24.00

2006 Cabernet Franc  This wine has the typical characteristics of  bell pepper, mint, and herbs. This is a rich wine. $24.00

2006 Cabernet Sauvignon  A rich and complex Missouri Cabernet with dark fruits,moderate oak,and thick tannins. Still needs time in the bottle but would be good now for fans of young Cab. $24.00
