Messina Hof was started in 1977 by the Aggie alumna Merrill Bonarrigo and her husband, Paul, who worked with A&M's viniculture experts to create some of the most-honored wines in Texas. Grab a light lunch in the winery's Vintage House restaurant, stroll the vineyards and sample the wines. Messina Hof's chardonnay is fruity and refreshing, but the biggest surprise is the port, which is almost as smooth as the Brazos River on a summer afternoon. - The New York Times
