Wine Society of Texas blends wine at Messina Hof

07.02.12

The Wine Society of Texas came to party at Messina Hof this weekend.  It was an amazing event.  BBQ and a barrel tasting kicked off the weekend.  Paul V sampled four varieties from oak as a sneak peek of the blending lab to come.  Following a tour and lunch, guests from Midland, Houston, and Dallas competed in a blending lab. 
Eight teams of four or five were given four different wines and an empty bottle.  Each group was challenged to create a unique blend and name it.  The eight blends were then brown-bagged and poured into cups.  Guests ranked the eight wines.  The top three wines received medals.  The “Bad Livers” from Midland won grand prize with their “Red Aggie”.  Congratulations!
