HEARD SOME OF THE FOOD THERE IS
THE GREATEST.
SO IT HAS LUNCH AND DINNER
AND I SPOT A MENU.
I LOVE READING MENUS.
WHAT IS YOUR CLAIM TO FAME?
WE DO A LOT OF SPECIALS AND
THAT GIVES THE CHEFS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO PAIR SOMETHING
WITH A WINE AND TO HAVE
SOMETHING NEW AND DELICIOUS.
I LOVE THE SPACE UPSTAIRS I
CAN JUST PICTURE THE WEDDINGS
AND ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU DO.
THEY ARE BREATHTAKING SO
YOUR BACKDROP IS THE MISSOURI
RIVER AND WE HAVE AN EVENT
SPACE SPECIFIC FOR WEDDINGS
THAT OPENS OUT ONTO THE
TERRACE.
AND YOUR WINES ARE
FANTASTIC.
I AM READY TO MEET THE
WINEMAKER, JACOB.
LET'S SEE WHAT HE IS UP TO.
JACOB IS THE PRESIDENT AND THE
CHIEF WINEMAKER HERE.
WHAT GOT YOU INTO MAKING WINE?
I WAS TOLD IT WAS BAD LUCK.
I CAME OUT HERE AND I WENT TO
THE COLLEGE AT THE UNIVERSITY
OF MISSOURI AND I GOT A
PART-TIME JOB AND I FELL IN
LOVE WITH THE CULTURE.
WHAT YOU SPECIALIZE IN?
WE HAVE 30 ACRES OF GRAPES
ON THE REDGRAVE THAT WE GROW IS
NORTON AND ON THE SOUTH FARM WE

ROOM.
