Wine enthusiasts don't get very far into wine history without hearing the name George Husmann. Husmann was a German immigrant who used his horticultural talent first in Missouri, then in California, to begin the American wine industry. "Oak Glenn Winery stands on a site once owned by internationally renowned horticulturist George Husmann, a founding father of the American wine industry." [www.oakglenn.com]
The Oak Glenn Winery sits majestically on a hillside overlooking the Missouri River near historic Hermann, Missouri.It was here a few years ago I encountered my first white port wine. Wine Night this week included a bottle of Oak Glenn's Silver Moon, a non-vintage, dry white wine labeled simply as a "Missouri White Table Wine." Silver Moon is a blend of Chardonel and Vidal Blanc and has a light, citrus flavor ending with a smooth dry finish. Slightly chilled, this very pleasant white wine is at its best.
