Why do you make wine?

We would like to know why you make wine?


	I can experiment with creating new wines
	It is the challenge of making wine
	I don’t have a life
	I drink more wine than I can afford to buy
	I like the bragging rights that come with making my own wine
	I can make it cheaper than I can buy it
	I think I can make better wine than I can purchase
	I think it is fun to make my own wine (and share it)

Great site. Very helpfull. I'm new at making wine but have studied wine and was a Wine Steward. Now it's time to make my own. I'll be at August 12th meeting. Anything I need to bring such as membership fees, etc....?

I found your site while searching for grapes for home wine making. I would be grateful for any info. (My long time supplier 4M of St James MO is no longer able to provide). Thanks - Very Impressive Web Page! Steve

Hi Steve,
We do have Chambourcin grapes available the first weekend in October. If you register on the website, I send out updates on the status of the grapes. Also, our wine making club meets on the first Thursday of each month. We meet in the Community Room at First Community State Bank in Warrenton. We have members from all over the St. Louis metropolitian area as well as members from the counties of Lincoln, Warren, St. Charles and Franklin.
