Think of the world’s greatest wine regions and Champagne, Burgundy, Napa and perhaps Chile come to mind. But hidden in the Mid-West is a lesser known, but equally fruitful gem: Missouri. Yes, Missouri. Replete with over 30 wineries, many of them award winning, Missouri is producing some world-class vintages. But whether from lack of marketing or elegant-sounding names, Missouri wines remain virtually unknown to “outsiders”. This was not always the case, however.
