To: Repeal The 17th
You missed Brigham Young's winter home in St. George Utah where wine was produced.

Silk was produced in the area as early as 1874 but did not add to the material prosperity of the city. Nevertheless, the mulberry trees, which were planted to feed the worms, have continued to provide shade to the city's residents. Other early pioneer endeavors included producing molasses, dried fruit, and wine.

Has it a name? Yea, verily we will call it Brigham's Red.

Forgot the quotes from St. George History.

You can add cotton to the list. It's first settler's included many Southerner's who were sent to St. George to plant and raise cotton.
