Starlight – A Tribute to Betty

September 20, 2024

“Starlight, starbright.”

A starlit sky shines brightly on the purple and pink night sky. In the side of a rocky cliff sits a patio that overlooks their property. Surrounded by multiple trees that sit along the fence line. The patio has become a special place for a sweet lady named Betty. At the end of each day, she would go out there and gaze at the beautiful starry night and recite this poem.

 

“Starlight, starbright, first star I see tonight. Wish I may, wish I might, have this wish I wish tonight!” This poem along with their loving memory of their mother sewed as an inspiration to the owners of Edg-Clif Farms & Vineyard. 

Steffie Littlefield and Cyndy Keesee, wanted to create a tribute to their sweet mother Betty. They couldn’t think of a better way than to dedicate this sweet, delightful wine to her. This wine is a hit among many. The flavors are derived from the blending of their two white grapes, Vignoles and Vidal Blanc. It is a heavenly blend that shines as brightly as the stars in the sky, apricots and citrus with a hint of honeysuckle. It is best when served chilled, and it pairs well with seafood, poultry and fresh herbs.

Their mother and the patio that is looking over the cliff is a charming memory that they hold dear and love to share with their friends. They have a photo featuring their mother walking the property in their tasting room. 

 

Edg-Clif Farms & Vineyard sits right outside of Potosi, Missouri. Be sure to stop by and try Starlight out for yourself while taking in the immaculate views.
