E & J Gallo Winery

This place I don’t think I would buy wine from! The girl working there doesn’t have a lot of respect, she could do better with more training! This company was a little better a few years ago, over priced. They could improve. So I’ll give them one star for now.

Truckers beware, do not pick up loads from this establishment. They are not good people and has no respect for truckers trying to make an honest living.

This is only for the Mirassou label that Gallo purchased about a decade ago.
Year in and year out, the worst wines that one can buy. The pinot noir in particular tastes like a poorly made Gamay. Much worse than anything that Two Buck Chuck makes. The Mirassou family should sue to get their names off the label.
In general, Gallo has access to some of the best vineyards around, but they absolutely refuse to make anything other than for the wino set. Their top-​of-​the-​line stuff (Sonoma) seems to have started with good grapes, but the end result is grim at best for the QPR. If you really like these wines, good for you, but I have not yet met one serious wine drinker that advocates Gallo wines.
It is a sad state of affairs that their wines dominate the military bases that the USA operates all over the world. No wonder servicepeople drink a lot of beer!
That being said, Gallo gives the nice town of Modesto a lot of employment and positive identity, so no one can really complain.

The moscato has a lovely range of flavors yet is light-​bodied from start to finish. The gorgonzola cheese on the spinach salad and Moscato really work well together. The cheese brightens the wine by bringing out more of the fruity flavors of peach and citrus. The wine also complemented the balsamic chicken by reducing any sourness from the vinegar on the palette and really brings out the sweetness of the wine. The balsamic strawberries were very sweet and the wine tamed the sweetness of the strawberries a little yet complemented it in a soothing fashion with a honey finish. What a way to end a meal!

Before the Gallo Arts Center was even built, Gallo would host its annual art show here. I’m not sure what events they still hold at this location, but if you get a chance to swing by, make an appointment. It’s a beautiful set of buildings by the Dry Creek area (although there’s plenty of green to see!)
A few facts for yall’s enjoyment:
–2^nd largest winery in the world (by volume)
–Largest privately owned winery
–Largest exporter of California wine
–14 of their 60 brands are imported from other countries
–The Gallo brothers went «green» back in the 30’s!!!

They vented, brewed, and shipped such ghetto classics as «Night Train», «Thunder Bird», and «Carlo Rossi». Need I say more!
How could you not give them 5 stars for creating some of the most insane wines that are sure to have you in a rage running around the town like a friggin crack head?
From MODESTO to the local hood comes the insane flavors of wine that is made to knock you on your butt. Not to mention each bottle is hand crafted to mold around your hand. Why? I would have to say because that way no matter how drunk you are, you will not drop the damn thing.
Now naturally you will not find this information on E.&J. Gallo Winery’s website, however they indeed are the creators of them drinks.
Hats off to you Gallo for making some ghetto classics behind the the scenes!
