Family owned establishment just a couple of years old. The woman who poured our tasting was VERY FRIENDLY and good at walking us through the tasting. We wished that she would have been able to pour into actual glasses instead of dixie cups but we assumed it has to do to COVID restrictions. There was an EXTENSIVE AMOUNT OF WINES to taste. This was fun to try on a tasting, but it seemed like the focus on innovation for new flavors COMPROMISED THE OVERALL QUALITY of the wines. The wines were bold. Many were quite sweet while others were more of a vinegar flavor. I caution readers on the jalapeno wine.. more for cooking than tasting. There was also a selection of fruity ciders which she let us try along with the wines. We bought a bottle of wine to drink along with dinner. We tried the tacos and shared a brisket sandwich. The FOOD WAS GOOD but not great in making us wanting to return for more. We do appreciate that they offer food though after a day of tasting. Overall, we would return to this winery for another tasting and to support a locally owned business.

This is a small storefront, with hopes of expanding. I had the Jazz it Up wine. I would not recommend it. I could find no flavorful notes, and I was unable to finish it. There is a pretty big selection of wines, perhaps choose another. The Here Piggy Piggy Piggy sandwich was recommended. The sausage didn't have much smokiness to it, it was basically a kielbasa. I had the two meat option with beans for my platter. The pulled pork's flavor was pretty good, but it was slightly dry. I opt for my BBQ to always be served without sauce. I did try the sauce on the side. There is no tomato in their sauce, which is interesting. My friend liked it. I thought it was much like a thick, saucy version of liquid smoke and I didn't find that it enhanced the meat. The brisket was by far the star, I highly recommend. It was cooked well. The beans were decent. More on the thick side, and also there was meat in them, which I prefer. He said they just started doing BBQ at the beginning of this year so I hope they keep working to perfect it. It's a tough market to be a star in BBQ in KC. The entrance and restrooms are not accessible. This is a historic building and not really built to accommodate.
Wineries is what we do every week. This was our third stop today. I tried everything they had in stock and I have to say I am sorry I do not believe this place can stay open serving wine. Everyone of the wines had a strong vinaigrette taste, that almost turned my stomach. There is another signature wine with a hot pepper which nearly burned my taste buds out. The BBQ was alright and perhaps the only saving grace. The brisket was pretty good and almost perfect if he adds a little more Kosher salt when smoking. I think another also comment that the pulled pork was a little dry but the sauce was pretty good made with wine. Last comment: go for the food and skip the wine.
Wine was fine but very limited selection. The most disappointing part was the food. No meat on the ribs and severely over cooked, flatbread pizza was simply pita bread with cheese and lunch meat on the top, and wings were cold. Do not expect good food or a large variety of wine selection. Ate food to be polite, not because it tasted good. Ribs and Wings were not finished, pizza was finished but not good. Little Ceasers pizza is better. (EDITED AGAIN) Severely disappointed with management response to this review. In no way should anyone go to this winery. The way they have handled this review should turn away any more customers from going there.
I've been here a few times for events and just for stopping in while I'm on the square. I've never had a bad experience - the staff is always friendly and helpful, they let you sample, there are good sales, and their pineapple cider is the absolute best for a hot day. Actually this is where I get a few of my favorite flavors - the chocolate cherry wine is also so good.
