Down in the wine cellar of Hermannhof, they prepared a delightful serving of Braised Beef Short Ribs with Chocolate and Cinnamon.

Pinckney Bend – Hermann Chocolate Wine Trail 2014
Although Pinckney Bend Distillery was not officially on the Hermann Missouri Chocolate Wine Trail, we noticed that they honor wine trail tickets so we took a small detour to the New Haven Arts District. The staff there was so helpful and friendly and even let us enter and sample their spirits before their official opening time. Each of the spirits sampled was excellent quality. They even provided chocolate treats to try with their Rested American Whiskey. They then gave us a great tour of the facility. Overall, we were very pleased with their service and product.
