Paul Bonarrigo Quote in Local Profile website  

“Way back in the 1980s, when you made a presentation, you needed a flak jacket,” “The good news is that people who thought Texas wine was horrible back in the ’80s, they’re dead. When you talk to a newly minted A&M graduate, they will say their favorite [wines] are Texas wines.”
