Tim Puchta tells us people stay so busy that " we often forget to just stop and reflect on our lives and our upbringing." Adam Puchta is the oldest Missouri winery that has been owned and maintained by the same family. The winery has been operating since 1855 and has a rich heritage. Slightly southwest of Herman near Frene Creek, the winery sits on a hillside and offers tastings, a gift shop, and a shaded picnic area.
Congratulations to Puchta Winery for receiving two awards from attendees at the Drink Local Wines 2011 Conference. Held in St. Louis this year, the conference arranged for participants and media to taste wines from 21 of Missouri's wineries and rate them. Puchta Winery won awards for the Best Red Wine and the People's Choice Wine at the year's Twitter Taste-Off. The Best Red was Adam Puchta's Norton and the People's Choice was Adam's Norton Port.
I have to add my approval for the Adam Puchta Signature Port. This is a rich, smooth port that is full-bodied and not too sweet. [I do not like sweet port wines.] Just right for relaxing, sipping, and yes, Tim, reflect on our lives.
Here is a picture of Tim Puchta and me. I had the pleasure of meeting 2 of the authors of this Blog at the DLW 2011 in Missouri. Christian G.E. Schiller http://schiller-wine.blogspot.com/2011/04/drink-local-wine-conference-2011-in-st.html
