After recently watching the movie My Week with Marilyn, it occurred to me that I had spent 24 hours this fall with a different superstar: winemaker Merry Edwards. Edwards’ first trip to St. Louis included two major wine dinners and a lunch tasting. While she is renowned for her pinot noirs from the Russian River Valley, which start at about $55, you should also try her Merry Edwards 2012 Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc, priced around $40. Edwards has decades of wine successes, and we were certainly honored to have her in town, if only for 24 hours.
