Fall colors in wine country

This past weekend I spent a couple days down in Missouri's wine country just west of St. Louis.  Who knew that Missouri is actually home to the country's first wine country?!?!

A friend of mine and I headed down from Chicago, met up with my cousin and his wife for a couple of wineries, and then spent Saturday night with two of my friend's college friends.  It was a great time to catch up with family and old friends as well as a relaxing time to check out the amazing fall colors and try out a few really good wineries.

In other words, it was exactly what I needed to rest and recharge from the craziness of life and my job search.  It was a chance to come home refreshed and ready for what's ahead.  And (even better) the several bottles of wine I brought with me will likely help with the relaxing and refreshing in the months ahead!
