It's kid-friendly, too. Add to these the Maramec Spring and trout hatchery, St. James is a nice way to spend some time!Julianna Schroederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277727700915648607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245225178580170753.post-67258234201841476672017-12-27T21:18:39.106-06:002017-12-27T21:18:39.106-06:00WOW, thank you, Anthony, for sharing this informat...WOW, thank you, Anthony, for sharing this information!

It was a much smaller and primitive stand compared to what Jody and Mike operate out of now.

St. James Winery is a favorite with me for their juice and wine. I made a pretty good Concord jam a few years back and this has me wanting to make it again. I gave it to nearly everyone, bragging about our Missouri grapes in the process.<br /><br /><a href="https://thebrewmeisterca.wordpress.com/2015/08/20/perfect-your-home-brewing-recipes-with-proper-wine-tasting-techniques/" rel="nofollow">Irvin Moss @ Shop Brewmeister</a>Irvin Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09152611049893615960noreply@blogger.com
