	A blend of Norton and the heritage grape, Stark Star (a cross between Norton and Catawba).  This red wine has a slight fruitiness of the Stark Star's labrusca heritage with the underlying structure of the Norton.  Finished a little sweet to complement its fruity character.
	A light semi-sweet wine from the tangy American Catawba grape.  Missouri's version of "white zin".
	Vignoles  A luscious semi-sweet white wine filled with delicate, subtle flavors, lovely aroma and finish.
	A semi-sweet wine made 100% from the quintessential American grape.
	A blended sweet fruity red wine made from the native American grapes, Concord and Catawba. These grapes know how to blend into a real winner.
	A sweet  white wine with the fruity taste of the Niagara grape.
	Made from the tangy Native American Catawba grape, this version is finished sweet.  Others may call it "Pink Catawba" but we've listened to people struggling to read the word so we were inspired to just go with the first three letters...purr.

Euro Tradition
Wines made from the French-American hybrids.  These grapes combine the quality of the European Vitis vinifera with the quality and climate tolerance of American grapes.
