Thanks. I didn’t know that. There were some juice grape vineyards in the Ozarks during the ‘70s. Don’t know whether or not those are maintained now, or if any were progressed to wine production.
Along I-40 in Arkansas, in Altus (west of Clarksville) you’ll find several wineries, including two - Post Familie Vinyards and Wiederkehr - which market their wine throughout the state.
In Missouri, their are clusters of vineyards and wineries southwest of St. Louis, in the St. James area along I-44, and a cluster of wineries along the Missouri river near Hermann, south of I-70 between St. Louis and Columbia.
If you’re into sampling wines, most of the wineries in Missouri, and some in Arkansas, produce an good, very dry red wine from the Norton grape (usually called Cynthiana in Arkansas). Give it a try. Outside of Arkansas and Missouri, you’ll seldom find Norton wine except in Virginia and some wineries in southern Illinois and in Virginia.
