Bryan family makes wine

The art of winemaking has
)me to the Bryan-College Sta-
on area under the name of
tessina-Hof Wine Cellars — a
imily owned and operated
inery.
Winemaster Paul Bonarrigo
nd his wife Merrill are setting
p a winery northeast of Bryan,
t will be the fourteenth operat-
ig winery in the state.
The Bonarrigos began grow-
' ‘975
ing grapes in 1975 on a quarter
of an acre of land.
Today, the Bonarrigos are
growing 17 acres of grapes and
employ a full-time vineyard
manager in addition to two
other full-time employees.
The Bonarrigos began with
an experimental vineyard with
the help of the Texas A&M Ex
tension Horticulture Service.
The service helped with choos
ing the grapes and herbicides.
The remaining work in the
vineyard, however, was a family
affair.
“Paul is basically the wine
maker,” Mrs. Bonarrigo says, “I
do the scheduling and the pur
chasing of equipment.
“We pick by hand, we even
crush and press our own
grapes.”
The Bonarrigos have been
making wine for years, but the
first commercial crush is sche
duled for July through Septem
ber. The first commercial re
lease will be in November.
The Bonarrigos will blend
five different types of wine — a
dry white, a sweet white, a dry
red, a sweet red and an estate
port.
The wine will be produced
and bottled under the name of
Messina-Hbf Wine Cellars.
“Messina” is the home of the
Bonarrigo family, and “Hof’ for
Hof, Bavaria, is the home of
Mrs. Bonarrigo’s family.
Local group opposes war
by Gwendolyn Hattaway
Battalion Reporter
A local group opposing war
id social injustice claim that
ryan and College Station have
sen left out of the peace move-
icnt.
“We feel it has been assumed
tiat there is only one way to
olve a conflict — war,” Marjorie
]oppock, a participant in the
Irazos Valley Peace Action
;roup, said Sunday.
The group wants a halt of
mclear weapons production,
^hat Coppock called a “mutual-
ifiable
y verifiable freeze between Rus
sia and the United States.”
The group formed seven
months ago after members of a
Texas A&M Political Awareness
Day booth, sponsored by a
branch of the Quaker organiza
tion, took names of people in
terested in non-violent alterna
tives to war. Later everyone who
signed up was sent a list of the
names. After calling each other,
they decided to form a group,
Coppock said.
The group has no rigid struc
ture with a president and mem
bers. Instead there is a coordi
nating committee of six people.
About 95 names are on the mail
ing list of the group which meets
twice a month, Coppock said.
The participants come from
varied backgrounds. There are
families, students, people from
religious backgrounds opposing
war and people claiming no reli
gion at all, she said.
“We are a diverse group —
just people who have a concern,”
she said. “Our purpose is to raise
awareness of how to solve prob
lems in a non-violent way. We
are not just against nuclear
weapons but also object to the
death penalty, low pay of mig
rant workers and other social in
justices.”
To raise local public aware
ness, participants held an 18-
hour candlelight vigil April 14
— the day before income taxes
had to be mailed — in protest of
tax money going toward nuclear
weapons, Coppock said.
“So much of our tax dollar is
going toward projects to kill
people, and that takes away
from money that could go to
ward education, health care and
other human needs,” she said.
“We realize people have diffe
rent opinions,” she said. “We are
not condemning people for that
but we feel it is time we brought
our concerns out into the open.”

said.
DeBakey has said he stopped
tranplants because of the enor
mous financial and human costs
and because techniques for
warding off rejection were in
adequate. In the 1970s, most re
cipients lived for only a short
while after transplant surgery.
But with the development of
an anti-rejection drug, other
heart centers, such as the Texas
Heart Institute with Dr. Denton
Cooley and Stanford University
in California, report great suc
cess in transplants. The ex
perimental drug is called Cyclos
porine and is expected to be
approved by the food and drug
administration by the end of the
summer.
