Podcast #211 Tony Kooyumjian of Montelle Winery, Augusta, Missouri audio only
The very first AVA (American Viticultural Area) to be named in the United States was Augusta, Missouri. Even before Napa Valley. Augusta is about 45 minutes outside of St. Louis and the location of our interview with Montelle Winery and Augusta Winery owner Tony Kooyumjian. Tony is a former commercial airline pilot and that alone makes for some great stories. We met with Tony at the Montelle Winery on a fantastically warm day in November to chat about Missouri wine and how a pilot became a winemaker.

Hi, I'm Adam Burns with Chandler Hill Vineyards, the closest of the Missouri wineries to St. Louis.
I often get questions about our winery's products and services. Many guests often notice our garden and are curious about what we grow here. Here at Chandler Hill Vineyards, we grow lettuce, zucchini, squash, asparagus, and several different types of tomatoes. We use this fresh produce in our restaurant in order to provide the guests with the highest quality of cuisine possible here at the winery.
If you're on a quest to discover the best Missouri wineries, then you're likely to visit the Hermann MO Wineries, Augusta MO Wineries and the Ste. Genevieve MO Wineries. You might even check out some near Rock Port too, but if you live close to St. Louis and you're looking for a romantic getaway in Missouri why travel further than you need?
Also, If you run a business and you're looking for St. Louis activities to take you're team to, or if you're a maid of honor or bride to be and are looking for St. Louis wedding venues, or St. Louis wedding reception venues then look no further than Chandler Hill Vineyards, one of the best St. Louis attractions.

myMABA 09 | Be Content with Fewer Wishes by Francesca Williams
MABA stands for Mid America Buddhist Association which is a Buddhist monastery occupying a 76 acres parcel featuring rolling hills, lotus-filled lake and beautiful woodland, surrounded by majestic vineyards and wineries in Augusta, Missouri, about one hour drive west of the St. Louis International Airport.
To understand MABA, one must start with its Abbot, Venerable Master Jiru. Master was born in a small town along the Eastern coast of Malaysia. His parents were both physicians, immigrated from China after World War II.
Master grew up learning martial art from his grandfather, first it was a derivative form of yoga (Yi Jin Jing) invented by Bodhidharma, a famous North Indian monk who visited China fifteen hundred years ago and invented the technique after spending seven years in seclusion inside a cave. Bodhidharma is recognized as the original master of Chan meditation in China and his yoga technique also became the basis of what is now known as Shaolin Kung Fu.
While continuing to practice this age old technique, Master Jiru also became experts in two styles of Tai Chi (combining both Chan and Tao). When he was around twenty years old, he vowed to dedicate his life to Buddhism and after spending almost two years overcoming incredible obstacles in learning both Pali and the Thai language, he was ordained as a Theravada monk in Thailand.
However, fate brought him back to Malaysia and he eventually became the disciple of a famous Mahayana Chan master. A few years later, Master Jiru decided to search for his true calling overseas, first to Australia, then to America, and over time has held important positions in various monasteries, spanning both coasts of United States.
Then in the early-90’s, Master was invited by a small group of self-practicing Buddhists living in the St. Louis, MO area, who until then were meeting in each other’s homes to study Dharma. Pooling their resources, and with leadership provided by the Master, MABA was founded. Land was purchased and over the past twenty years, with nothing but their sheer will and determination, augmented with small donations and lots of generous volunteers, they have built MABA to what it is today.
From a Buddhist teaching standpoint, MABA is unique in that it synergistically combines both Theravada and Mahayana traditions, with great emphasis on direct experience in exploring one’s body and mind and systematic approach to understanding Dharma, as opposed to ruts, routines and rituals.
Three years ago, in order to meet growing demands on their facility, they embarked on an audacious renovation project, modernizing and expanding their female dormitory which was a tiny hundred year old stone farm house. What emerged, after lots of blood, sweat and tears, is a world class full fledged meditation facility affectionately known as the Blue Lotus House.
The open house ceremony for the Blue Lotus is scheduled for April 9, 2017.
MABA is always open to the public. In addition to Sunday services, it also hosts regular multi-day meditation retreats. Please visit their website, for more information and to make contributions to support their cause. For testimonials from their students, you can also watch interview videos at their Youtube channel,
