Lecompton residents Troy and Vickie Clark never expected to make a business out of their love for wine. We ve always been one of those couples that goes to all the little wineries when we go on vacation, Vickie said.
And until eight or nine years ago, that was the extent of it. Then, the couple took a trip to Niagara Falls. We probably went to 25 wineries while we were up there, Vickie said.
During their travels, the pair decided to take their own crack at wine making, and upon returning home, they established a small operation in their basement. We started making wine from kits, Vickie said, and then, branched into recipes and just kind of went from there.
