Listen, I don't want to come off as biased, because I'm not a fan of all the wines we make at my place if employment. But this easy going $11 bottle has more soul than any of your overpriced Sonoma county #pinotnoir's (taste/body wise the closest vinifera comparison) that people buy up in heard formation (not naming names). A unique lush boysenberry gives way to black cherries and supple dry spice on the finish. A #seductive #elegance reminiscent of the sexiest #bourgogne's WILL leave you craving more after every sip. Did I mention it only retails for like $11? #chambourcin #MOwines #gem #missouri #hermann #value — 9 years ago

2006 Westphalia #missouri #mowine #Norton Reserve. Holy sweaty horse saddle! Loads of Brett. Dark cherry, boysenberry, wet forest floor plus hints of clove and vanilla. Soft and silky. Just a hair too much Brett and some volatile acidity however and a tad fizzy. #wine #sommelier#sommelier#sommelier #somm #unique #obscure — 11 years ago

2010 Montelle Dry #Vignoles, #Missouri #MOwine. For the riesling lovers, you MUST try Vignoles. Super ripe and tropical with peach, pineapple and mango notes with lemon peel and ginger spice on the finish. Round and smooth with a hint of residual sugar. #wine #sommelier — 10 years ago

2010 Stone Hill 'Cross J' #Missouri #Mowine #Norton @stonehillwinery Reserve level. Dark and smokey. Ripe black cherry, black raspberry, currant mixed with bacon fat, leather and black pepper. Velvety and fresh. Still a young wine but in 10 years this will be amazing. #wine #sommelier#sommelier#sommelier #somm #unique #obscure — 11 years ago

2000 Mount Pleasant #Missouri #MOwine #Port, Augusta, Missouri. Did you know Augusta is the first AVA in America approved by the TTB back in 1980?? A lovely port-style wine with dark cherry and plum intertwined with caramel, toasted vanilla and almonds. Soft and round. A fine ending to a meal paired with French biscuit cookies. #wine #sommelier — 10 years ago

2010 Les Bourgeois #Missouri #Mowine #Norton. Not overly expressive. Subtle black cherry, boysenberry and slight forest floor. It's possible there's low level of TCA on this wine. STOP USING COMPOSITE CORKS. #wine #sommelier#sommelier#sommelier #somm #boring #TCA — 11 years ago

2010 Stone Hill Missouri Chambourcin. Floral and herby aromas plus tart cherry, wild berry, herbs of Provence and baking spice. Lively soft finish. Reminiscent of Mourvèdre. #wine #missouri #missouriwine #chambourcin — 11 years ago
