Nick was my cousin. He was also very close to my father. I loved hearing the stories he told when I went to visit the winery. They were about the “old days” and the things he did with my father. Nick was a good man, a good father, and he made the whole Bommarito family proud with all his accomplishments as a carpenter, winemaker, and the winery. He will be missed. RIP cousin Nick.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the Bommarito family. May treasured memories give you comfort.

Our prayers and thoughts are with you all.
We are so sorry to hear of Nick’s passing. Mike worked for Nick for quite a few years and always remained one of our friends. We were lucky enough to enjoy staying in one of
the condos they were building at the Lake of the Ozarks. Over the years we have searched for him often and when we heard of the winery, it was closed permanently. He will be missed.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of your family.
Sincerely,
Mike and Kathy
