MissouriWine.net Next Up For Launch

One thing many people do not realize is how the Missouri wine industry is growing, Missouri has long been one of the top wine producing states in the US (at one point grapes from Missouri were used to seed some vineyards in France after a widespread die off of grapes in France) and as of late there have been some very large new wineries popping up.

One of the fastest growing new wineries is located about 20 miles from where I am located and based on that we tend to get a lot of information locally on wine tourism in Missouri, etc.

Since we have quite a few contacts in that industry we decided it was time to start development on a site focused on winery reviews, directory information, and other content related to the Missouri wine industry. One of our writers has been working diligently putting together 80 plus articles to cover each of the wineries and we have people lined up to add content weekly in the near future, all in all the site will turn into quite the resource for people looking to plan a wine tour in Missouri.

Yes, this all works quite well with Missouri.me and really augments packages that we offer to certain types of customers.

There are a few areas of the site we are still need to finish before actual launch (the layout of the main content area of the site is NOT the final version by any means) but one of the things I am finding interesting is that we are already starting to get relatively decent traffic based on ranking high for quite a few terms. Quite a surprise based on where we are in the site development cycle.

You can take a look at MissouriWine.net, we still need to lighten up the internal site links that are there (the plugin is being very aggressive right now) and finish up the front page main content area and then finish adding the rest of the directory but so far so good while it is "soaking in".

I am looking forward to finishing this up, and sampling some of the products:)
