Keels Creek Winery (written Jun 16, 2012)

I was surprised at this winery. Their Cynthiana/Norton was just fine, though not compared with the Hermann Nortons. I expected touristy type things being in Eureka but this was quite nice. The Vivant was interesting as well as their Chardonel. Their best was the Chambourcin though.

This is a very nice winery in a beautiful area, but I didn't get many answers from the server, just kind of a serve and go. I recall their Chambourcin was well, as well as the Norton Port, but I don't remember too much after that.

I wasn't expecting much from this winery, having been that it was blasted in "The Wild Vine" book, but I like being surprised. The staff was very nice and pleasant to talk to. Their Norton Port is made from 110+ year old vines and it honestly blew me out of the water - fantastic! I don't remember much of anything else, but make sure you try the port.
St. James Winery (written Jun 16, 2012)

I agree with the Norton Travelers here. I just saw this winery off the side of the road while doing our "Norton tour" in Missouri and Arkansas and I'm really glad I stopped. Their "serve yourself" style is actually quite refreshing, a go at your own pace type deal, and you can sample everything for free. The wines are very reasonably priced. Their Cynthiana is made lighter than their Norton and is very nice after tasting all of the heavy Missouri Nortons. I particularly liked their Chambourcin as well. Highly recommended!
