Wine of the Week: Blueberry

Did you realize our St. James Winery premium fruit wines are the most awarded fruit wines in the USA? If you haven’t tried this line of wine, you are definitely missing out!

We recommend you begin by sipping our highly-awarded Blueberry sweet wine. It has received six silver medals in 2016 alone, and we are sure it will become as special to you as it is to us!

Made from 100% pure, ripe blueberries with nothing artificial and everything delicious, Blueberry makes for a wonderfully decadent dessert all on its own. It also pairs well with a slice of angel food cake and a side of lemon sorbet.

For those who may not be looking for a dessert to add to their table, try using this quality wine to create additional food items. It makes both cooking and baking gold medal events!

Cheers to Country Red and Country White

Country Red and Country White cows, we salute you!

Over the years our vintage cow labels have had a great run, but all good things must end. This spring our Country Red and Country White cows are being put out to pasture, making these end-of-an-era bottles into collectibles.

Bottle collectors, take advantage of this opportunity to snap up some bottles for your collections.

But don’t worry, Country Red and Country White will continue! The same award winning wines you love will debut fresh new labels later this year!

Summer Fruit Fun

The farmers’ markets are full of the fruits of the summer season, so why not put those fresh fruit flavors in your wine glass, too? St. James Winery’s fruit wines are made from 100% fruit juice and feature fresh from the field tastes, so it’s no wonder they’re the most awarded fruit wines in the country!

Mix them in wine cocktails. Sip a glass all by itself after a long day of work. Cook with fruit wines to in sauces, mains, and desserts. Stick with your favorites or try one of each:

Friendship School Salad Dressing

A trip to the farmer’s market is also sure to yield some mouth watering salad fixings. Whether it’s leafy greens, cucumbers, or broccoli & cauliflower, top your salad with our Friendship School Salad Dressing, a quick and easy mix of wine, oil, onion, sugar, salt, and worchestershire.

St. James Winery at Los Angeles Wine Competition

St. James Winery has Exceptional Year at Los Angeles International

Eight St. James Winery wines received 90 points or better, including two 97 point ratings, at the 2013 Los Angeles International Wine & Spirits Competition, held May 15 and 16 at the Los Angeles County Fair. The LA Wine & Spirits Competition uses a 100 point rating scale for gold medal winning wines.

Best of Class winners were:

2012 Vignoles (97 points)
Friendship School White (97 points)
Peach (91 points)

Other gold medal award winners include:

Cynthiana (92 points)
Blackberry (90 points)
Blueberry (90 points)
Mango (90 points)
Raspberry (90 points)

“Our 2012 Vignoles is absolutely amazing! The exceptional quality of the wine is thanks in part to last year’s drought. The lack of rainfall resulted in pristine Vignoles grapes,” said Peter Hofherr, CEO of St. James Winery. “Our Friendship White Wine is another wine that has traditionally done well for us, and over the years it’s won quite a few Best of Class awards in wine competitions.”

“It was also gratifying to see our fruit wines continue to be standouts in wine competition, too. This year at Los Angeles, Peach led the way with the Best of Class award,” Hofherr continued, “but Blackberry, Blueberry, Mango, and Raspberry were close behind with gold medals of their own. In fact, all 16 wines St. James Winery entered in LA, won medals, and half of those were gold medals.”

St. James Winery is the largest and most awarded winery in Missouri. Founded by the Hofherr family in 1970, St. James Winery celebrating more than 40 years as a family owned and operated winery, St. James Winery wines are sold in 19 states and is online at www.stjameswinery.com.

Piece of Cake

Weekends in October are made for college football, corn mazes & carving pumpkins, and lazy walks through the woods. Cooler days also make it more fun to heat up the oven and make your house smell like home.

At St. James Winery our signature Blackberry Wine Cake is a perennial fall favorite. This cake is an eye-catcher on the table with its jazzy purple color. The sweet buttery blackberry glaze make it a sure-fire winner.

Why not try switching out the Blackberry Wine for one of St. James Winery’s other fruit wines? This cake is delicious as a Blueberry, Cherry, Peach, Raspberry or Strawberry Wine Cake! Simply match the wine and gelatin flavors.
