It's Port Wine Weather!

Ah, the cool, crisp air of Fall! Thoughts turn to warm fires and a great glass of Port, Sherry, or Madeira dessert wine. I have been waiting for the leaves to turn and the temperatures to drop so I can enjoy some of those great, hearty wines in my collection.  Winter doesn't seem so cruel when a person can cuddle up to a crackling fire with a nice glass of quality port.

Are you ready for those tastes of fall? Within an hour of St. Louis, MO, we have access to several wineries that make very nice port wines. Check out the port wines at some of my favorite stops: Adam Puchta Winery (Hermann), Augusta Winery (Augusta), Chaumette Winery (Ste. Gen), and Sugar Creek Winery (Defiance).  Also, Crown Valley Winery actually boasts its own Port House near Hannibal, MO. So, get away for a few hours, sip a good port or two, and welcome Fall!

Which ever way you go, take time to enjoy the fall colors -- and tell them The Wine Girl sent you! Cheers!
