I wanted to let everyone know about the great time you can have when you come out to the Diamond Ridge Market when it comes time to taste a few wines.

With a big crowd seated inside the Diamond Ridge Market Thursday, we all enjoyed some great wines. I’ve finally figured out that the wine club members love reds so five of the six we offered them were reds, everything from Dornfelder to a deep Shiraz. We also started introducing members to Missouri’s red wines, not [...]

I spent a little time downtown this weekend taking in local theater and getting a jump on the St. Patrick’s Day celebration.

The wine list there is limited [...]

The January meeting of the Diamond Ridge Wine Club had a very “meaty” theme to it. I whipped up some tasty mini-meatballs and marinara sauce that seemed to be a hit with the members. We sampled a few Italian wines that went well with the little appetizers. If you check out the PFI Magazine soon you will [...]

I took some Layer Cake home the other night. Not the kind you eat with a fork and adds pounds to the waist. No, this was the kind you drink from a glass and enjoy slowly. Layer Cake Wine has an Italian Primitivo, aka Zinfandel, which will knock your socks off. It’s an incredible red wine [...]
