• 2006 VALVIN MUSCAT NEW!

a wine made from a new grape variety bred and developed in New York State (but grown in our own vineyard near Treloar, Mo.).  Intensely floral and fruity, with a touch of citrus and honey.  We believe this is the first Valvin Muscat ever produced in Missouri.

• LA CHARRETTE

a well-endowed blend of white grape varieties, primarily Chardonel and Vidal Blanc.

• DEVIL'S DEN RED 

  named for "Devil's Den Hollow," which is located in the rugged hills near our main vineyard, this wine was made primarily from Cynthiana grapes that were fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks.  With sweetness and flavor comparable to some domestic ports (but with much less alcohol), this wine may be enjoyed chilled, warm, or even hot--especially when steeped with available mulling spices.

  $14.83 per single bottle - case price per bottle $12.83

• 2005 GOLDBLUMEN  

  produced from shriveled Vidal Blanc grapes we picked in December, this wine is not only very sweet (over 11% sugar in the bottle), but also extraordinarily aromatic and flavorful.   DOUBLE GOLD MEDAL at the 2007 Taster's Guild International Wine Judging.
