Winemaking in Missouri: A Well-Cultivated History

Catherine Neville, the Emmy-winning producer and host of Nine Networks’ “tasteMAKERS,” and co-director Chris Roider trace the nearly 200-year history of Missouri’s rich winemaking past. Their documentary features winemakers and experts detailing the evolution of what was — and is again today — one of the state’s leading industries. Weaving together historic images with in-depth interviews, “Winemaking in Missouri” touches on winemaking’s inflection points across the decades. Among those featured: Jon Held from Stone Hill Winery, Pat and Peter Hofherr from St. James Winery, Angie Geis of Noboleis Vineyards, Annie Gunn’s sommelier Glenn Bardgett, and Kansas City-based author and wine consultant Doug Frost (who is one of only four people in the world to hold the dual titles of Master Sommelier and Master of Wine).
