2007 was a year of records. Record sales, record awards but what Merrill and I are the most proud of are our new and old VIPS.

2007 was a year where we saw our VIPS come together and share good times just like a reunion of old friends. It is wonderful to have our VIP’s who have been with us some for 15 years meeting and greeting each other with such warmth and fellowship.

It has also been wonderful to see long standing VIPS welcome new VIPS into our club with such enthusiasm. The VIP club was formed so that people who liked fine food and wine could celebrate their interest at Messina Hof.

Our winery is expanding again. The patio above the vineyard room is being enclosed. Twelve Persian rugs have been acquired and the barrel room will get 124 premium new barrels from our cooper in Missouri.

2008 is going to a great celebration year. God willing Paulie will return home and Messina Hof will be privileged to be a part of the great “Texas Wine Industry” and share more good times with our VIPS.
