About 2 miles from us is the Messina Hof winery, which is rather convenient. In addition to the traditional wine tasting they offer classes in regional wine qualities versus the Texas varitials. Anyhow, during the two hour class you get to taste some excellent wines from Texas paired with, during this class, the similar wines from France. Well done and here we are, with, Dr Kerry Hope (brother Richard's spouse), after the latest class. In December it will be the wines of Spain compared with the locals, which should be fun!
