Show-Me Wine & Tapas: Local Sips and Bites at Bella Vino!

The Bella Vino Wine Bar & Tapas Sign on Historic Main Street in St. Charles, MO

If you haven’t caught on, I’m a sucker for locally made wines! I’m always a little bummed when I visit a local wine bar and discover they don’t offer any local wines. So, you can imagine how thrilled I was to find out that Bella Vino offers a Show-Me Sips: Missouri Made Wine Flight! 🙌🍷

The Show-Me Sips: Missouri Made Wine Flight

With this flight, you’ll get to try three tasty and unique Missouri wines from three different Missouri wineries:

🍷 Stone Hill Winery: Vidal Blanc

🍷 Augusta Winery: Seyval Blanc

🍷 Noboleis Vineyards: Gateway City Red Blend

When I was originally invited to try Bella Vino, tasty wine and unique tapas were all I had on the brain!🧠🍷🍽️

We started out with the Chorizo Stuffed Dates that were wrapped in strips of bacon, drizzled with maple syrup and served on top of savory romesco. 🥓

The stuffed dates paired incredibly well with the Noboleis Vineyards Gateway City Red Blend that was a part of the Missouri Made wine flight I was enjoying. 🍷

Ordering Chicken Alfredo wasn’t even originally on my radar. I have a guilty pleasure for GOOD Alfredo, so when I saw it was a menu option, I had to give it a try. It’s really hard to impress me with Alfredo, but I was totally wowed by this dish! The sauce was rich and creamy without being too heavy and the chicken was perfectly cooked.🍽️

I grabbed a glass of Gérard Bertrand Orange Wine to enjoy with my Alfredo and finish off the pretty perfect evening.🧡🍷

I truly am so grateful to be invited out to try such a unique and delicious St. Charles, Missouri gem and cannot wait to return and try even more tasty eats and drinks!

Missouri Wobbles and Wine!

On October 6, 2018 the annual Missouri Wine Wobble took over Cedar Lake Cellars ! “Will run for wine” is a common phrase in the wine world and with the Missouri Wine Wobble, you really can run(or wobble) and be rewarded with wine! 🙌🍷👟

The Missouri Wine Wobble has a little something for everyone! (Even people like me who can’t stand running🤣) Not up to running an entire 5K? Then sign up for the 1K Taster’s Trot! Feeling like you have some energy to burn? Sign up for both the 5K AND 1K races and get extra wobbly! It really is a blast for everyone!

Once you’ve picked which race is right for you, prepare to “wobble” thru the vineyards stopping every so often for a wine break!

Once you’ve finished your race, there is more wine and whiskey (and water) waiting for you to enjoy! Races over? Now it’s time to party! The after party will sure to keep that wobble wobbly!
