On Monday morning we loaded up and headed east to Hermann for a little Missouri wine tasting. We sequestered the motorhome at Lazy Daze RV Park and headed for the Stone Hill Winery. At the turn of the century Stone Hill Winery was the third largest winery in the world. That's right - the world. After a tour of the winery we tasted what they had to offer. Varietals new to us like, Norton, Seyval, Chambourcin, Vignoles and Chardonel. I wouldn't class the wines with the best I've ever tasted but they were not bad.
We celebrated my birthday at the restaurant at Stone Hill Winery which is a converted stable. The German style food was excellent and we enjoyed a bottle of 1999 Stone Hill Norton with the meal.
In all we tasted wines at about 7 wineries and enjoyed the wines at five of them. A few bottles even found their way into the motorhome for later consumption.
