Whether it's Thanksgiving, Christmas or another holiday, when shopping for wine, visit a local wine shop where experts are on hand to help you select the perfect vintage.
Patch asked local wine experts what they would recommend for holiday gift giving and was suprised to get the same answer. “What do they like to drink?” In the world of wine, there’s no one perfect bottle. The best gift wine is given with ample thought towards the recipient. Do they like sweet dessert wines or a bold Cabernet Sauvignon? Would they like a bottle from a far away land, or one from their favorite local Missouri winery? When pushed, wine experts will reluctantly give a few recommendations. But they’d much rather talk with you in person where they can show you around the shop and point out popular or underappreciated wines. Straub’s (Clayton, Webster Groves) “The hottest category in wines are pinot gris from Oregon,” said Chris …

A greater variety of produce such as strawberries and cucumbers should be available early in the season thanks to recent warm weather, market manager Deb Henderson said.
This year, farmers began harvesting asparagus in March—about a month earlier than normal, Clayton Farmer's Market manager Deb Henderson said. The crop has been abundant. In St. Louis, she's heard from a farmer who is already harvesting strawberries, cucumbers, lettuces and radishes. So she is hopeful that the recent warm temperatures will continue benefiting farmers and patrons of the market, which opens May 5 for its 12th season. "This year is really a springboard from last year, in that we had a number of new vendors come last year," Henderson said. Some of them started selling at the market mid-season, so they are excited to begin selling their products early on this year. Last May proved particularly cold and wet, which presented …

Ruth Berg thanked those who work for "the good health" of Clayton on Tuesday and reflected on her 60 years in the city during a meeting of the Board of Aldermen. Mayor Linda Goldstein read a proclamation declaring Tuesday as Ruth Berg Day. A number of people attended the first part of the meeting to support Berg. She spoke from the seat of Ward III Alderman Mark Winings, who couldn't be in attendance. Berg, 98, moved to Clayton in January 1952, Goldstein's proclamation states. She has children and grandchildren who attended Clayton High School. Berg's favorite grocer is Straub's, and her favorite restaurant is Remy's Kitchen & Wine Bar.
