Dave House, TiieBa port wine by Continued from page 3 that reached the English shores contained 10 percent brandy. The British loved the wine the Portuguese named El Porto. “The British said, ‘We love that stuff; stir it on in there,’” Lane said. The British loved the wine so much, in fact, they tried to make their own. They bought Por tuguese vineyards and added the brandy themselves to freshly pressed grapes. Since adding brandy to the un fermented juice kept the wine from fermenting, the Portuguese established the Marriage ceremo ny to make the British wait for the wine to ferment before adding in the brandy. Messina Hofs port is 18 per cent alcohol, giving it less of a bite than the first batches of Por tuguese port. But this Messina Hof wine contains enough alcohol that grocery stores are forbidden to stock it on their shelves. Messina Hof indirectly contin ues a Sicilian tradition forbidden when wealthy families stored their liquor in the bathtub. Paul Bonarrigo IV moved to America from Sicily with his family’s wine making tradition. Shortly after he arrived, Prohibition began, leav ing Bonarrigo IV in the hands of the government. Lane said that under government approval, Bonarrigo IV continued his busi ness for friends and family. “He was an Italian in New York City during Prohibition,” Lane said. “He had lots of friends and family — everyone was his friend.” From there, the vines of tradi tion have entwined the Bonarrigo family, and has now reached the next in line, Bonarrigo’s 14-year- old son, Paul. Bonarrigo said tradition states that once a wine-maker’s son turns 16, the father and son make a batch of wine together. Then, when the son turns 21, he makes a batch of wine on his own. Bonarrigo’s wine-making her itage drew him back to the grapevines after he resisted fami ly tradition and became a physi cal therapist. He and his wife, Merrill, moved to Texas, and in 1977 Bonarrigo met a physical thera py patient that changed the course of his career. The A&M graduate student persuaded!; Bonarrigo’s to experiment pis ing different varieties e grapevines on a Tacrek: grant provided by A&M.
