Rosewood Winery (written Oct 01, 2016)
Wine: 4 stars Winery: 5 stars Ambiance: 5 stars
This is a large operation with a great mission. The dry wine list is extensive, and full of very nice vinifera wines. I arrived when the winemaker was just coming off of his tractor for the afternoon so had a nice chat with him about harvest. Sadly, because Kansas is rife with herbicide use, he lost a lot of his grapes from overspray from an adjacent farm. He's persistent and is continuing to grow grapes and make stellar wine.

Fox Fire Farms (written Oct 01, 2016)
Wine: 4 stars Winery: 5 stars Ambiance: 5 stars
This out of the way (but well signed!) winery specializes in wonderful local varietals. On a random September afternoon I made a trip here before a hard frost and had the fantastic opportunity to talk with the winemaker. The setting of the winery is reminiscent of the Willamette Valley with the rolling hills near Durango and outdoor seating overlooking the vineyard. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff and supple wines. I also love hearing that their biggest sellers are the drier wines, hopefully a trend that will continue to grow and result in more dry wine options.

Post Familie Vineyards (written Sep 10, 2016)
Wine: 4 stars Winery: 4 stars Ambiance: 4 stars
Second visit to Post Familie in two years, and was not disappointed. I like that this little winery outpost serves nice lunches but also allows bringing picnic food into the grounds if they're not serving. This is the only winery that produces a wine bottle with a screen printed label that I cannot throw away. The 2012 Chambourcin is fantastic and I have a hard time wanting to drink it because I like the bottle art so much. The Norton isn't that great, but the Chambourcin is really quite nice. Great setting, friendly folks in an otherwise unfriendly landscape.

Cameo Vineyards (written Aug 23, 2013)
Wine: 4 stars Winery: 5 stars Ambiance: 4 stars
It's always very nice when traveling from Missouri, the land of wineries near the main route, that we come across similarly located wineries in Illinois. Cameo Vineyards is very well signed off of I-70, and close to the interstate. a nice little log building surrounded by a sweet assortment of vines greets drivers to the site. While Cameo makes their bread and butter off of their sweet offerings, including a pink wine called "Bling," their 2011 Chambourcin is perfect for drinking now. They offer a few blends of dry reds and are very affordable. They are open ample hours which makes it ideal for travelers who want to while away a few hours on their covered porch overlooking the vines. Dry reds are quite nice.
