Wildflowers and Wine

04.09.12

The blossoming Bluebonnets and Indian Paint Brushes seen along the Texas highways have indicated the change in season. With Spring now in full bloom, what better way to fully appreciate the beautiful wildflowers than by pairing them with your favorite Messina Hof wines!

While enjoying a nice picnic this Spring, light white wines that are crisp and filled with fruity flavors will be most enjoyable with your picnic meals. Try a bottle of Pinot Grigio, Pinot Blanc, Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc. These wines will help replenish your palate and bring out the flavors in your meal.

For warmer weather, a glass of chilled Rose wine fits perfectly. It is acidic, but still fruity and is a perfect fit for Spring and Summertime!

Picnicing with red wines can be a challenge, however a lighter red wine such as Pinot Noir is more suddle and will not overpower any of the foods you bring to your picnic. The less alcohol content the wine has, the more suitable it will be for your afternoon with the Texas wildflowers.
