What's AgriMissouri Showcase?

  • We've made it our job to go out and find all the great products Missouri has to offer. Every show, we'll bring you something you didn't know about Missouri -- and tell you how to experience it yourself.

    Sarah Gehring is our blogger. She's the Member Service Coordinator for the AgriMissouri program. She assists AgriMissouri members in promoting their business or organization and promotes the AgriMissouri brand. The goal of the AgriMissouri Showcase is to introduce consumers to AgriMissouri members, their products and experiences, and promote AgriMissouri activities.

Look out for Vinograd in 2009!!

I was finalizing my plans for my Kansas City trip this week and contacted Paul of Vinograd Winery.  I wanted to drop by and check out their place! 

As it turns out... they are in a major transition phase right now.  They are currently building a shopping center with 12,000 square feet of fun!  Paul said that the center will have a winery, grocery store, and restaurant and should be completed in a year.  Unfortunatly for me, I don't get to go visit Vinograd Winery right now, but luckily for everyone else, you can still purchase their wine and barbeque sauce online a www.vinogradwinery.com.

Here's a photo of the Vinograd Winery with downtown Kansas City in the background from their website.

For those of you who are not familiar with Vinograd Winery, Paul sent me a description to help familarize everyone!

Vinograd Winery - Turning a Family Tradition into a Business

"They came from Croatia and Slovakia in 1907 with the clothes on their back, very little money in their pockets, a hard work ethic and their knowledge of how to make wine."  The wine making tradition has been handed down many generations in the Wrabec family and now Paul Wrabec is planting as much as possible of his 31 acres in Sugar Creek, Missouri.  Due to popular demand for the family wine Paul is making his vintages available to the public.

The Wrabec family makes 4 types of wine as well as BBQ sauce from their grapes.  The VinoQue Sauce is one of the only BBQ sauces made from wine in the country.  These products are available by contacting vinogradwinery.com or by calling 816-836-5903.

The VinoQue Sauce is described as having a sweet & tangy flavor with a subtle smoky finish.  The St. Cyril's Concord wine is a traditional sweet and fruity table wine. 

Make sure you check out Vinograd Winery's website and try their original VinoQue Sauce!  Look for more information about Vinograd Winery's building progress later on this year!
