Aviston, Ill.—Stephen Gorzad, founder of the firm Got Wine, acquired Hidden Lake Winery in central Illinois about 35 miles east of St. Louis, Mo. The 92-acre property includes a winery facility, five event venues, banquet center and guest cabins. Gorzad, a former senior manager at Boeing, had been looking for a winery to purchase with his wife Angela. The couple were able to complete the purchase with a loan from North Avenue Capital, which is a United States Department of Agriculture Rural Development lender and announced in a press release that it was able to provide a $1.6 million loan to fund the acquisition.
