The staff at Top Ten Wines have remained diligent as they plan for the future of their business. Cook Kyle and bartender Khaymen Hoelscher have been working alongside Paul on a massive 18-acre farm in Huntsdale with the end goal of bringing more locally-sourced wines and produce to their menu in downtown Columbia. Currently, they’re working toward turning eight acres of the farm into a bird and pollinator wildflower sanctuary. They’ve planted a variety of trees and plants that will bear elderberries, peaches, nectarines and pears. The working farm wouldn’t be complete without its own vineyard, where they hope to soon create their own wines out of home-grown grapes. None of these endeavors would be possible without the continued support of the community. 

Top Ten Wines manager Sarah Medcalf explained that as part of the downtown Columbia community, it’s their responsibility to limit operations for the time being. However, they continue to serve the community with safety in mind and look forward to seeing everyone’s faces again.  

“Each day we keep getting up, planning, communicating, cleaning and pushing forward toward the future we want for our shop,” Medcalf said.
