The Ste. Geneviève Grape During the 1800s, Ste. Geneviève had its own type of grape. It went by various names, Ste. Geneviève, Amoureux, Red Elben, and American Rulander. It was grown extensively in the Hermann MO and Ohio areas. Today, it is no longer grown. Ste. Geneviève people have been making wine for its entire existence. Originally, the early French made wine from wild grapes growing up in the trees.

The books and albums section draws particular praise from reviewers who call it one of their “favorite places to shop for anything eclectic, as well as music (LPs especially),” suggesting the Zielinskis have assembled serious vinyl collection Read more…
