A guide to seven wineries in mid-Missouri. Before prohibition, the area around Hermann was one of the largest wine producing regions in the world. One-twelfth of all U.S. wines placed on the market in 1904--nearly three million gallons--were from Missouri, and nearly all from Hermann. Recent years have seen a resurgence of Missouri wine making. From the page: "Venerable native grape varieties--Norton, Catawba, Niagara, and Concord--have been joined by exciting new French-American hybrids, such as Vidal, Seyval, Vignoles and, most recently, Chardonel, and Missouri winemakers are once again bringing home gold medals from around the globe."
