Missouri Uncorked: Shamrock Hills Vineyard & Winery and The Missouri State Fair

Shamrock Hills Vineyard & Winery. Mike and Denise Riley join us at the Missouri Wine Showcase at the Missouri State Fair! Renée introduces Zena to the Fair, corn dogs (complete with mustard via paintbrush), and a breaded pork tenderloin sandwich as big as her head...but the wine! Shamrock Hills is a three-year-old winery that's already winning awards. We start out with the Reserve Chardonel (a hybrid of Chardonnay and Seyval Blanc). We get another St. Vincent rosé (blended with a Chambourcin), the 2024 Shamrock Rosé. We talk Bethany Falls Limestone, engineering, how to "go big or stay home" in wine.

Cheers to Annette Alden of the Missouri Wine Board for making this trip happen and giving us the rock star treatment at the Missouri State Fair. Cheers to Todd and Judy Smith, and Chris and Kristi Brewer of the Missouri Wine Tent at the Fair. What a fun tasting! Cheers to MC's Smokehouse for the amazing breaded tenderloin sandwich and Good Time Charlie's for the ice cold beer (hey, it's the Fair!).
