Summer is Here

Summer is the season of relaxation and vacation, and many people look forward to it all year long. But when does the season actually begin? Many people start celebrating this enjoyable time when kids are finally out of school. Others plan a vacation for May or June and count that as the beginning of summer. But despitethese common beliefs, the true season begins on the longest day of the year, the Summer Solstice. This year, it falls on Friday, June 21^st and produces more than 12 hours of daylight.

How should such a long, hot day be spent? Many people will sit poolside or beach side, while others might throw a BBQ party for their friends and neighbors. But no matter how the Solstice is celebrated, adding a bottle of Messina Hof wine will be the finishing touches to any plans. The long, relaxing first day of summer is a great time to cool off with some refreshing wines, such as Messina Hof’s Sophia Marie Rosé or Riesling. If staying home sounds less than enjoyable on such a long day, stop by Messina Hof’s Bryan location for a tour and wine tasting, or to experience fresh wine on tap in the Wine Bar.

Start the summer season right by adding Messina Hof wine to any Summer Solstice plans, and Messina Hof Winery and Resort wishes you a wonderful and relaxing summer!
