Remember that Missouri has been only second to California in wine production. In the 1870's, Missouri vintagers even sent healthy Missouri roots to France so that grape growers there could restock their fields, which had been destroyed by a virulent pest. Many say that Missouri saved the wine industry in France at the time. Go to www.RocheportWineStroll.com for more information.
