My wife & I hit the wineries out on 94 a couple times a year, and I've always thought that the stretch from Matson to Dutzow was a fantastic stretch of road. So long as it's not packed with wine tour buses, which it is on many spring/fall weekends. But on a quiet weekend, it's great. It's not quite the real Dragon (done that a few times... :driving:), but it's a worthy drive with plenty of corners & elevation changes.

Matson, MO to Dutzow, Charrette, MO - Google Maps

There are actually a ton of quiet & sweet little roads over along the Missouri river. Lots to explore.

If there's ever a group that wants to do a wine run out to Hermann and back, let me know. I know some good places. :yum:

that sounds like a great time! my dad and I usually hit 94 every couple of months. like you said, if you can find a quiet weekend to go out (or EARLY), it's a blast. it's usually pretty crowded though.

we want to keep the spots we meet at fresh, so after this next gathering, we're definitely open to trying something new. a winery weekend sounds like fun. :tup:

Another fun one is HYW T just below by St. Alban's. Good amount of elevation changes and longs sweeping turns.

You will have to let me know how you like the swifts. I am thinking about a set. Wife does not really want me to lower the car though. Hell we do scrape the plastic things in front of the wheels going into our driveway!
