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.
