Vineyard Cuisine: Meals and Memories from Messina Hof

Author: Merrill Bonarrigo

Merrill and Paul Bonarrigo have spent 30 years developing wines of distinction in Texas, creating a true "vineyard cuisine" using wine in every dish or marinade, offering suggestions of pairings, and teaching restaurant staffs, students, and eager wine lovers the knowledge of the wine and the vine. From the first winery in Texas to produce wine-based foods and open both a restaurant featuring vineyard cuisine and a villa serving gourmet breakfasts comes this historical journal about wine, food, and 30 years of love and laughter. Messina Hof wines are available all over the world.

The New York Times

Messina Hof was started in 1977 by the Aggie alumna Merrill Bonarrigo and her husband, Paul, who worked with A&M's viniculture experts to create some of the most-honored wines in Texas. Grab a light lunch in the winery's Vintage House restaurant, stroll the vineyards and sample the wines. Messina Hof's chardonnay is fruity and refreshing, but the biggest surprise is the port, which is almost as smooth as the Brazos River on a summer afternoon.
