Our chiles got some press

Southern Illinois has nearly two dozen wineries... ...but,...Man cannot live by wine alone, so the next morning I headed outside of Cobden to Vines Road and found Rancho Bella Vista, where Jerry and Carol Jimenez run Darn Hot Peppers. They grow about 20 varieties of peppers, and darn hot would be the polite way to describe the habaneros, Thai, pequin and tepin peppers. Their small retail store sells three types of salsa, six pepper jellies, dried pepper flakes, ground spices and pickled peppers. A new product was "Chocolate with a Zing," a pepper-shaped chocolate confection on a stick. All are available at www.darnhotpeppers.com.
