Dan Edson: Did you know have our very own winery right here in Peculiar, Missouri? Today, we're going to tell you all about the Peculiar Winery on Highlight My Town. Welcome! I'm Dan Edson with EXP Realty. I'm here with Chris Gough, the owner of Peculiar Winery. How are you? Chris Gough: Good. Nice to meet you, Dan. Dan Edson: Glad to be here at Peculiar Winery. Tell us how it all got started. I know it's a family-owned business. Chris Gough: Yeah, man. Well, I went from professional wrestling to television to wine. So it's been like an obvious step-by-step process to get here. I planned it that way. But seriously though, my parents and my wife got into this. A few years ago, I had a different career and I had a buddy that had a winery that had been successful for about a decade. He asked me, he goes, "Hey, I want some more friends of mine in the wine business. Do you want to come up and [inaudible 00:01:24] with me?" I said, "Sure because I want to get out of my industry anyway." Chris Gough: So I went up there and started learning about that. And while I'm learning how to make wine, my parents, they were retired, my dad is always looking for something to do. And I was like, "Hey, how about we do this?" And at first they thought I was crazy, but after a while, they came around, and so here we are. Dan Edson: So a lot of stuff goes on here during the weekends. You guys have food trucks and you have live entertainment. Tell us about that. Chris Gough: Well, I tell people, when I used to go to wineries with my wife and my parents, I enjoyed the wine and stuff, but really what we liked is the whole experience, the atmosphere. That's what we liked about it. I mean, I go to these wineries, that's all a lot of good wine, but none of them really stand out. But I just remember how much fun we had there. Chris Gough: So we try to make it a festival atmosphere on weekends. Friday and Saturday nights, we have food trucks that come and we have a nice variety of food. We didn't get into the restaurant business here. We have snacks and stuff, meat, cheese, crackers, dips, stuff like that. But for meals, the food trucks really worked out and people around this community don't really necessarily have a ton of, let's say, ethnic food here. There's a lot of barbecue guys that do a great job too. Jiggy Pig is a local guy here that we use a lot. But there's a lot of people that would just come through, like Greek, Mexican, Italian, just the whole laundry list. People really like that. Chris Gough: And then bands, we do a lot of local music here. There's a ton of classic rock and country, but we like try to variety it up with jazz, blues, zydeco, a lot of different stuff out here to give people different things to do in the on the weekend. Dan Edson: So tell us about the beautiful property here. You guys have 15 acres, am I right? Chris Gough: Yeah. We were looking for land and in Peculiar we found this spot here. We thought it was great because they had just paved Harper Road back here, and of course they had just made the new exit, because it's basically the high school over there, Peculiar Way. And it's 15 acres here they were splitting up. So we got the 15 acres. At one point we were going to maybe put some vines in here and we still may, but we get our juices and grapes from other suppliers around Missouri and other states at this point. It's just been a really great location because it's country enough, but still easily accessible to the highway. Dan Edson: Great. And you mentioned that you guys are in the process of developing greenhouse patio-covered seating. Chris Gough: Sure. Yeah. So our patio is pretty big. It was a focal point last year, definitely during COVID. People wanted to go out there, sit outside, they were very comfortable in an outdoor setting. So we decided that we wanted to cover that for multiple reasons. Number one, I can have more heated seating in the winter, but it's going to be a lot of garage doors out there, typical of a bar in the inner city or somewhere where you're going to have a lot of air flow through there, and cooled in the summer, heated in the winter. And you can have bands in there if it rains. You can have more events out there in case of weather. So yeah, I'm looking forward to that. Dan Edson: Sounds like a win-win. Chris Gough: Yeah, totally. And I hope, what enjoys it this year. We hope to have that finished probably by the end of May. ☀ Relevant Hashtags: #peculiarwinery #peculiar #missouri #highlightmytown #kansas #kansascity #kansascitywineries #wineries #peculiar_winery #peculiar_winery #peculiarmo
