Union Hill Underdog Wine Shop Shuts Down

Economic recovery doesn't seem to be taking hold in Kansas City despite boasting about better numbers from the White House.

Here's a quick reality check along with the realization that cheaper booze and lottery tickets is the path of least resistance for most local merchants . . .

Ryan and Jenny Sciara opened the shop, at 2984 Gillham Road, in late 2016. It is scheduled to close at the end of business on April 23.

“It just didn’t work out. I don’t know why. I wish I had the answer,” said Ryan Sciara. “We tried everything we could. We did grassroots marketing including door hangers and a direct mail campaign.”

Underdog Wine Co. sells wines by small producers, typically family owned wineries, but the “best bottles for the price.” It also has artisan spirits, and craft beers. During the closing sale, wines are 25% off, and beer and spirits are 20% off.

Hours are noon to 5 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays until the closing.
