I went wine tasting at some of the local wineries in Missouri once. I even
thought the wines might be good when I discovered most winemakers had
been educated at UC Davis. Then I tasted them. YUCK! Most of them were
way too sweet! When I asked about this, they said that sweet is what their
demographic wants. Even the wines that were not sweet were mediocre at
best. I am glad to have had the experience, but I'll not be buying the
fine wines of Missouri any time soon.
