Yesterday, Claire and I toured Stone Hill Winery, just up the hill from Hermann. Stone Hill is the oldest of the 82 wineries in Missouri, and before prohibition, it was the third largest winery in the world. This was our third trip to the winery, but this time was purely for educational purposes. Claire is taking a Food and Wine Writing course at Mizzou. I found drinking wine for the sake of journalistic research staggering ;-)'

Sounds like fun research!

brown roof?
