December in St. Louis

[stevebody]

Judye and I are going to be in St. Louis from the 7th of December until about the 21st, for her in-patient therapy with Dr. John MacDonald's team. I'm going to have a LOT of free time on my hands, especially during the days. My original plan to cram in as many Blues games as possible ran aground on the rocks of modern sports commerce, so I'm looking for great wine shops, tastings, etc., or, really, any artsy tourist crap. If any of you guys are from there, we'll be staying near Barnes Jewish Medical Center, in the 'hood they call (I think) Central West End. (probably got that wrong) Any tips are greatly appreciated!
