Missouri Wrestling Revival

Editor’s note: Kraig Keesaman the rough and tough wrestler who once challenged for the NWA Missouri title, captured the 3XW Pure Championship from Tyler Cook after being trained by wrestling great Sonny Meyers.

I have had many fans ask “Where is Kraig Kessaman now?

So without any further wait I give you the answer from the man himself.

Recently I opened the Windy Wine Company in Osborn Missouri. As with wrestling, this is something that I take a lot of pride and enjoyment in doing. Being so new to the wine industry, I tried to make the best product available with the little equipment and supplies that I had access to. This past month I received what would be the same as a championship title belt.

The award was a Gold medal at the Missouri Wine Competition held in Jefferson City. The contest was held on the 1st and 2nd of August. Many different wineries submitted over 230 different wines for the contest. Our Good News Red received the highest medal of Gold. Gold medal wines then went to be judged at the Governor’s Cup Contest which is the highest competition in the state. At this contest, the Gold medal winning Good News Red took another honor of best in class, semi-sweet red. This is very humbling for us and a very high honor in the wine business.

Good News Red is a Sangria style wine that is made from Concord Grapes, Strawberries, Raspberries and citrus fruit; it is our most popular wine. Our other wines include Apple and Pear Wines, a dry red wine and semi-sweet blush, and various types of Meads (for the inner Viking Warrior in us all).

In the future, look for Blackbelt Brewery by the end of 2012 as well as a special wine (codename: Grapple) to play tribute to my other passion, Professional Wrestling.
