When I think of Missouri, I don't know initially think "awesome wineries!" But after this weekend's…read morevisit to Amigoni, I can't wait to show visitors this stunning winery with delicious wines! As part of a birthday party, we joined some friends at Amigoni for the first stop, and we all loved the ambiance (stunning, calm, lovely staff) so much that we stayed over 3 hours! We sat in the back bar/barrel room area (back bar was closed that day), but it was a great space for a larger group to be able to spread out and not take up all the space in the front bar area. The barrels gave the room a cozy feel! I'm a fan of wine, but a lot of our friends are not huge wine drinkers--so while they have a lot of great wine to taste (I'll get to that soon!), they also have local drafts and non alcoholic options for your friends/family members who aren't into wine or who don't drink. For their wines, when I went on a Saturday they had two wine flight options, which the staff said they change about every two weeks! I got the basic flight to get a better idea of their standard wines, and I wasn't disappointed with any of them--and as others have noted, they are pretty heavy with their tasting pours, just FYI! I was able to try the Urban White Blend (chardonnay and viognier), Cabernet Franc Rose (one of their original makes from the early days), Sangiovese, Zinfandel, and the Select (petit verdot and tannat). All were lovely and delicious! Thanks to everyone at Amigoni Winery who made the birthday celebration special, cozy, and delightful! Can't wait to go back and enjoy more wines next time!

A winery? In Kansas City? I don't know what possessed me into going here; I'm not an oenologist but…read moreI'm pretty certain it was going to be worse than the garbage I've tried on Long Island so why not give it a try? The space was in a pretty quiet street, across from a pretty non-descript office building. I wasn't expecting too much inside but I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the interior had much more personality than the outside. The interior had high ceilings, the bar was on the left and before we sidled up to the bar we explored the space. There was an upstairs space that looked down into the lobby and the rear area had a bar and was also nicely decorated. The rear area had a little more people so we decided to go back up front. We decided to do both of the tasting options and share. I enjoyed the limited production tasting better and the reds over the whites. Like with a lot of tastings, the wine club was pushed but since I was only staying one more day I wasn't interested. However, our host did give us a taste of the T10 which I enjoyed so much that I bought a bottle of that. I shared it with some people who know and enjoy wine and they were also pleasantly surprised with it.

This is not a wine bar - you cannot buy a glass of wine, nor can you buy a bottle to split there on site. But you can have a tasting every time you go in! They have five wines at a time available for tasting that change weekly. So every time you go, it's a new experience! The staff have so much fun showing off their wines, telling the stories of origin, and helping people experience new flavors! You are allowed to bring snacks and tasting bites of all kinds into the shop! Recommended: a variety of cheeses, a dark chocolate, a salty chip or cracker, even some prosciutto! Very affordable range to purchase their ever-changing supply. Usually between $15-$35! They also sell local art, always on display. So if you're an artist yourself, maybe give them a shout!

So it's worth a visit just to check it out

We enjoyed quesabirria tacos from a food truck for the first portion of our evening, then got wine slushies for the second part. She got the white sangria flavor and I got the peach. Each came with a little candy on top. Both were sweet and delicious, perfect for us since we don't loveeee wine. Every corner of KC Wine is intentionally designed for you to be able to relax, grab a drink, and chat. There is ample parking, but in a grass lot so be emotionally ready, as well as plenty of seating in a wide variety of choices! They have games like corn hole and giant chess. To celebrate the birthday they had complementary s'mores! I grew up in this area and have since moved away but I wish I still lived here so I could be a regular at this wonderful spot!

As the years passed by, I feel like this place haven't really improve on the wine and were a bit pricey for the taste. I had way better wine at other wineries. Plus, this place is a bit of drive, they like to add trivia and bingo which are free and it's in their new hall that they have built but it's not even fun because it's overpacked and you can't really hear the speaker. They have many photo ops here to enjoy, overall it's pretty mediocre.

The space is large with bar seating, multiple "picnic" style tables for 4 to 6 people and a comfy pit by the fireplace and soon a patio deck. The owners Shriti and Paul were most welcoming, while spending a lot of time with our small group guiding us through the menu, offering suggestions and giving us a lesson on the their business, their challenges and goals. Their customer service skills and passion for their craft was impressive and addictive. I enjoyed a white wine Sangria, Pineaapple Mimosa and a pour of their Golden Rum. All were wonderful and fairly priced. They have scheduled tasting events and also offer snacks and charcuterie. A new favorite place when you need a bit of sophistication in a casual environment.
