From The Winemaker
Messina Hof Winery is proud to be a veteran-owned business and family winery with a history of three generations of United States military service. Messina Hof is honored to craft and showcase a wine collection for the ages that pays respect to the brave men and women that served during World War II and specifically in support of the Pacific War operations.
About the Label: On January 16, 1944, thousands of Texans serving in the Pacific gathered at Ala Moana Park in Honolulu for the “Old Texas Roundup,” held in honor of Fredericksburg native Admiral Chester Nimitz. The label depicts Admiral Nimitz addressing the crowd. The event served as a vital boost to morale and fighting spirit—just one year before Allied victory in the Pacific.
