From The Sommelier: “In Kansas City, things have really started to change as far as overall wine lists are concerned. For so long, lists were generic big-name wines or lists comprised of placeholder wines. Lists are now starting to become more focused on not just what guests are familiar with, but wines with focus on [pairing with] the food menu.” —Leslie Newsam Goellner, The Antler Room
