"We went to Marthas Bloomers in Navasota. We shopped in the gift shop an hour and a half or so, then we at lunch in Tuscany Room. The Quiche was delicious and so was the cobbler!
The Messina Hof Winery and Resort had a nice presentation of the history of the founder and place there. We walked to the vine yards, walked through the brewery, and were shown how wine is made and stored. We learned that the wine is stored in barrels of different wood types and that the grapes take in the wood for flavoring. Then we went in and had a wine tasting of four different types of wine and were shown how to savor the flavor! Tricks like swirling the wine in our mouths before swallowing and "clucking" which is said to give taste buds a different flavor. Trilling is holding white wine at the front of your tongue and sucking in air like you’re sucking through a straw
Clucking is holding red wine at the back of your palette and slowly making a clucking motion with your tongue."
