After planning/attending one of the most influential and prestigious midwest regional conference (MEEC) last month, I thought it would be appropriate to discuss the wonderful wine choices we had available during the reception and banquet.
St. James Winery is a local Missouri winery with a really obnoxious website. However, they have some of the most ridiculously sweet wines I've ever had.
The Velvet Red is on par with Sweet Walter, though is a little more fruity. It's made from Concord Grapes and is one of my new favorite wines from the area. Velvet White is made from a variety of American grapes, and is a little more tart than the Red. Both are best served chilled, and would be good with dessert- chocolate cake!
