"Terry,
As I told you the other day I would likely try the Cabernet Franc sooner rather than later. Well, I had a glass on Monday night and I was so impressed that I had to have another last night. Terry, I can see why it was rated an 87. It really has a great nose and excellent finish. You have crafted a real winner."

"On the first take I think the Prodigal Son is my favorite of the Westphalia lineup. I think this is distinctly European and mostly a French flare for the earthiness on the palate. Very drinkable and doesn't need food. Best , I think at room temp or maybe 56 degrees. Lamb would be great , blue cheese , walnut and pear. Beautiful dark inky color in the glass, bright edges and woody nose. A very serious glass of wine. Thanks so much."

| "OK, after the fight with UPS I just had to see if the prize was worth it so I cracked open a bottle of the Westphalia Vineyards 2006 Norton Reserve. Oh what a treat (and no, I am not letting its origins cloud my judgment... come taste it for yourself). For those not familiar with the Norton grape (another American varietal, this time red), this wine makes me think that a Zinfandel and a Syrah had a child. The color is a beautiful deep purply-red and produces firm, thick legs in my Riedel. The nose delivers peppery spicy goodness complementing the currant and berry fruits which are transported into the mouth along with a hint of vanilla (interesting note, Westphalia uses Missouri Oak for its barrels making Westphalia Vineyards the closest I can do in "buying Missouri") where we have the flavors mixed with balanced tannins and acid and providing a medium-long finish. The mouthfeel is interesting... it starts off a little soft but firms up the farther it goes through its finish. The juicy fruit makes me smack my lips after each taste and for some reason I cannot stop "sniffing" the wine (it's triggering something from my childhood but I cannot quite tell what it is).
This is a fabulous wine. I wish I had a nice juicy grill-seared steak (I can definitely see this as an alternative to the typical Zinfandel served at cookouts). This is a pretty big wine, drinkable now but should be able to keep a few more years. If you like Zins and Syrahs this wine from a young winery definitely deserves a checking out."

"I decided to serve a Missouri wine at this year's Thanksgiving feast. My selection was your Cabernet Franc. It paired beautifully with the turkey and trimmings, and won over a table full of visiting family. Three bottles was barely enough. From now on a bottle of your wine will grace our holiday table.
Thanks for helping to create a memorable Thanksgiving dinner!"
