    The real spirits of St. Louis | Back for seconds

    St. Louis is a heck of a beer town, and there are so many options to choose from. But sometimes you just want something more… spirited. We set out to do an episode about canned cocktails, but the story tasted so good, we couldn’t max out at 7%. So, we’re sipping on a little liquid courage to learn how the beer mecca of the Midwest is getting harder… as in, our drinks. And no, we’re not talking about those flavored seltzer waters here. This episode first aired Aug. 21, 2019.

    It's long been called "St. Louis' Signature Sandwich," and now the sauce that really makes the Amighetti's Special is available in bottles. Now that you can take the sauce home with you, we decided to visit the home of Mrs. Amighetti herself. How the strong-willed woman invented it, how love became as much a part of her business strategy as her recipes, and what she says about the state of the restaurant today.

    Future vintage | Back for seconds

Now, they're getting back to their roots and buying up new ones: the vineyards of Augusta, Missouri. Hear how they're planning on making the community an international destination, why they think even "wine snobs" will love what they have to offer and the one complaint they've heard from Augusta residents.
