I took a trip home to San Antonio for Easter weekend, and my parents were delighted when I said I wanted to visit Messina Hof when I arrived. I had heard of Messina Hof when I was in college at Texas A&M (whoop!) but I don’t recall ever drinking any of their wines. Let’s just say I hadn’t discovered the deliciousness of a good wine until after my college years. ;)

Well, I heard that Messina Hof started creating bottles to benefit the Association of Former Students, so I clearly had to stop in to see what the buzz was about! I’m glad we made the trip–I have a new favorite white, their Chenin Blanc, and the Legacy Red Blend was amazing. My parents enjoyed their wines as well! Though I could only fit two bottles in my suitcase, I’m sure I’ll be going back for more!

After we enjoyed the wine, we headed over to Alamo Springs Cafe for dinner. I love enjoying a good meal with some live music to go with it!

I was sad to leave Texas before the bluebonnets came up in force, but I’m sure I’ll be back soon!
