The winery was established in 1977. Messina (Sicily) is the ancestral home of winemaker Paul Bonarrigo. Merill's family is from Hof (Germany). Bryan, TX messinahof.com $35/bottle at Dallas Fort Worth Airport; $11 if you can find it in a wine store...
Honeysuckle, lilac, passion fruit. Good acidity but lacking the crispness of Loire, NZ, and Sonoma. 87 points


This is great a pinot grigio! But, you got the price wrong. It costs $11 a bottle, not $35.
