The risk-taking-entrepreneurial BEAST
Deep In The Wine Glass of Texas … Culinaria 2014’s Becker Wine Dinner at Francesca’s at the La Cantera Hill Country Resort
There are times my line of work when I am required to work overtime, late into the evening, demanding my full attention and expertise … last week was one of those times.

The New Messina Hof Winery’s Hill Country Tasting ‘Castle’
By Ceci Barretto AKA Vinously Speaking
Sundays are always fun days when it involves some vinous action :)
It is even more fun when you have the pleasure of visiting the new Messina Hof Winery’s Hill Country Tasting Castle :)

Now, for those of you not versed in Texas wines, Messina Hof itself is not new, in fact Messina Hof has been around since 1977 and is known as one of the pioneers of the Texas wine industry.
