This past Saturday, Patrick & I explored our refined side. :)
Our friend Kat is doing her thesis on mapping the soil, elevation, etc. of a boundary of wineries and vineyards in the Ozark area, so some of her field work involves visiting those locations and asking questions. We accompanied her on the 3 hour drive to Augusta (a little west of St. Louis) and on a mini-tour of 6 different wineries along Augusta's main road.
We kept our purchases light, only making off with bottles of a rose and a seyval, and a yummy mixture to make a wine based ice slushie, but we had to use some self control not to buy a few other unique and tasty types! I saved my notes I wrote down during each tasting though, so we might order some more online in the future.
In any case, it was a long day, but a fun one and the weather was gorgeous- perfect for driving with the windows down through wine country!

you could go back during harvest season and ask if anyone knows what the grape said when it got stepped on by an elephant........the grape said nothing; it just let out a little whine(wine).
