Do you mean St. James wine?  I've never heard of St. John wines.  Do you
have more info about it?  My family is looking to try as many Missouri wines
as they can. 

St. James is not bad, especially for a Missouri wine.  My cousins, siblings
and I own the 40 acre farm my great-great-great-great grandfather
homesteaded in the 1800's in southeast Missouri, and one of my cousins keeps
pushing the idea of us putting in cabernet sauvignon grapes on the tillable
acreage.  I really don't think wine grapes would work very well in that
climate, but you never know.

I'm definitely forwarding that list to my father-in-law, who has a small
boutique winery in northern California.  My in-laws have just been hit with
the Walmart culture in the past year or so, and I'm sure he'll get a big
kick out of it.  :)
