The French colonial town of Ste. Genevieve has long deserved to be a weekend destination for St. Louisans. In addition to 250 years of history, a variety of bed & breakfast and restaurants, the area has added a number of wineries. We talked with Hank Johnson, owner of Chaumette. But Chaumette is not the only place to stop on the Ste. Genevieve area wine trail:
Sainte Genevieve Winery
Cave Vineyards
Crown Valley Winery
Chaumette Vineyards and Winery
Charleville Winery & Microbrewery

'The Road Show' improv
Brent Jones | St. Louis Beacon
This Saturday was the debut of a new show by The Improv Shop that will bring out of town improv teams to St. Louis to play for — and with — a local audience. The Road Show brought teams "Everybody Grok" and "Felt" from Chicago.
We talked to Eric Christensen, producer of the Road Show and member of local improv team "Ted Dangerous"; Katie Nunn, member of "Ted Dangerous" and improv coach; and Melanie Penn and Ranjan Khan, members of local teams "Melanj" and "Magic Ratio"; about the St. Louis improv scene and why it's important to welcome teams from other cities to perform here.
