Pair of Ports Pie
Since I'm a Texas Tech grad I always think of Messina Hof as the Aggie
wine...only because it's located in Aggieland. But these wines are much
better than the Aggies football team. JUST KIDDING Aggie fans! Messina
Hof truly does make some good wine. I enjoy their '04 Papa Paolo
Port...it's a labor of love between Paul Bonarrigo (Paul and his lively
wife Merrill own the winery) and his son. This dessert is made with
port...the perfect match for chocolate.
