if memory serves, there's a winery in branson... my father-in-law and his brother grow grapes an hour north of springfield and have made wine out of them (and it was halfway decent, fwiw), but I'm not sure I'd consider this area 'wine country.'
I've read that, at one point, missouri was PRIME wine country--as a matter of fact, when there were droughts in france the turn of last century (and wine-making grapes were dying off bigtime), they hybridized some of the grapes there with missouri vines... not sure if it's true, but I've read it...
