Come to the Lake of the Ozarks for the 2014 Magic Dragon Street Meet!

The Lake of the Ozarks has something for everyone! Whether its visiting a local winery at the Lake of the Ozarks, checking out all the shopping places or cruising out on the water, you will always find something fun to do here! This weekend its the Annual Magic Dragon Street Meet Nationals on the Bagnell Dam Strip!

Why is it called the "Magic Dragon" Street Meet you may ask? Some people say that the Lake of the Ozarks, which is over 90 miles long, looks like a big dragon from the air as it winds through the central Missouri hills. Several years ago, it became known as “The Land of the Magic Dragon”. At the very first show in 1987, they used the name “Magic Dragon” and it has stuck to this very day. Check out the events schedule for this legendary event below:

Vignoles Wine at Seven Springs Winery

Wine, Wine and more Wine!

Last week, we discussed all of the delicious wines available at Seven Springs Winery. Today we are going to start a series of featured wines so you can learn more about each one of the wines you can taste at your Lake of the Ozarks Winery. To start off we are going to feature one of Missouri's most versatile wines, the Vignoles.

About Vignoles Wine

Vignoles grapes are used to produce wines ranging in flavor from refreshingly dry to blissfully sweet. At Seven Springs Winery you can taste the Dry Vignoles or the semi-sweet Vignoles wine. Similar to a German Riesling, the Vignoles possess a luscious floral aroma and fruity flavors of citrus, pineapple and apricot. Vignoles are the second most common grape grown in the state of Missouri. This white wine serves as a great stand alone wine for sipping on a hot summers night or paired with a wide variety of food choices. The Vignoles wine is a match for any pallet. Wine lovers who prefer a sweet wine will fawn over the fruity flavors, while those that prefer a dry wine will likely find it light and refreshing.

Ideal Food Pairings

Vignoles pairs with a wide range of dishes due to its floral aroma and fruity flavors. Below are some ideal pairing for the dry and sweet Vignoles Wines:

Spicy Mexican Dish with a Sweet Vignoles
Asian Cuisine with a Sweet Vignoles
Swiss Cheese with a Dry Vignoles
Salmon with a Dry Vignoles
Fruit Chutney with a Sweet Vignoles
Creme Brulee with a Sweet Vignoles

Now that you know a little more about Vignoles Wine, stop by the best winery at the Lake of the Ozarks to try some! We have daily wine tastings so you can decide if Vignoles is the wine for you. Now that the weather is warmer you can enjoy a glass out on the covered porch and patio area overlooking our 160 acres of rolling Missouri foothills. And stay tuned because we have more featured wines coming each month!
