In 1977, Paul Vincent and Merrill Bonarrigo founded Messina Hof Estate Winery as an experimental vineyard in the heart of Texas. Forty years later, they’ve expanded across the Lone Star State with outposts in Fredericksburg and Grapevine, garnered thousands of awards for their grapes, and made a mark on the wine industry. Their signature vineyard cuisine, which incorporates wine into each dish, is deserving of a rollicking, celebratory Beard House feast.
