May 2013 #TXwine Twitter Tuesday

The next three months of #TXwine Twitter Tuesday are going to be golden! We will celebrate gold medal winners from the Dallas Morning News and the TEXSOM Wine Competition that was held in February.

For each of the #TXwine May, June, and July Twitter Tuesdays, we will taste three gold medal wines. Since the March #TXwine Twitter Tuesday was so popular by allowing tweeters to order a special #TXwine Twitter Tuesday three-pack, we will do the same thing for all three months.

Texas wine three-packs for May, June, and July will be available to order and ship in time for the May chat. Messina Hof has graciously volunteered to be the central point for you to order the wine. You can order one three-pack each month, but since the weather in Texas will soon start to get hot, we highly recommend you consider ordering all three months of wines in advance to avoid any heat problems in shipping. (Just don’t be tempted to drink the later months’ wines!)

Join us for the May #TXwine Twitter Tuesday on May 14 from 7-8 p.m. Jeff Cope (@TXWineLover) will host the event along with guest host Karen Bonarrigo (@KBonarrigo) from Messina Hof. Here is the May wine lineup:

• Messina Hof Winery & Resort Pinot Grigio 2012 (@Messina_Hof)
• Bending Branch Winery Tannat 2010 (@BBranchWinery)
• Kiepersol Estates Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

The wines for June are:

• Brennan Vineyards Lily 2011 (@txviognier)
• Llano Estacado Winery Cellar Reserve Tempranillo 2011 (@LlanoWine)
• Messina Hof Winery & Resort Private Reserve Merlot 2010 (@Messina_Hof)

July’s wines are:

• Eden Hill Vineyard & Winery Albarino-Viognier 2012
• Messina Hof Winery & Resort Father and Son Cuvee Riesling 2012 (@Messina_Hof)
• Pedernales Cellars High Plains Tempranillo 2010 (@PedernalesWine)

To order your special Texas wine three-packs, please go to www.messinahof.com, select either location, and then click on Shop Online. Select the item Wine and then look for the special TXwine Twitter Tuesday three-pack for May, June, and July. Even easier, just click here to go directly to that page.

By having the Texas wine three-packs available to ship to you directly, we are excited more people can get involved to taste and tweet during the #TXwine Twitter Tuesdays. We hope you take advantage of this special opportunity to taste some gold medal wines.

We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, May 14 from 7-8 p.m. CST for a night of tasting and tweeting. Please remember to include #TXwine in your tweets so everyone participating in the chat can see your tweets!

Cheers!

Denise, Jeff, and Jessica
