I would like to try Ponoma which is a fruit winery, nothing from grapes. Apple and pear wines are exceptional and Crumpy's favorites.
I am partial to blackberry. Crown Valley, of Jefferson county MO is my favorite Blackberry wine.. They also have a White Riesling that is to die for. I keep both in my cellar.
There is a winery north and west of Alton, " Little Prairie" I think. Small place but ,,,, Great fruit wines.
Are you part of the Gateway group?
I don't do facebook.
Pheasant hollow has a blackberry that alot love, I like there red and blue, strawberry and blueberry.
Blu sky isn't bad, owl creek is good, they have a hard apple called apple knocker that my wife likes.
Pomona is a definite have to try. One of the original wineries here, when they opened it was a gravel road.
Pomona is our favorite, and right beside pomona is a guy I used to work with that opens a restaurant about 7 years ago, Maces place, have not been there in quite awhile but I used to get his ribs all the time. Got to love it when you get ribs and pickup the bone and it is so tender that the meat almost stays on the plate.
Don't know if it changed but it was awesome.
If there is any kind of wine like a peach etc. Let me know before you come down and I could point you in a direction.
