Over lunch recently at Bistro Ralph, a wine makers' Hangout in the heart of the California wine country, somebody mentioned that E. amp J. Gallo winery Inc., the mass producer of inexpensive jug brands like Carlo Rossi and Gallo hearty Burgundy and street like Thunderbird, had placed in the top 44 in a rating competition with one of its new Sonoma wines.
Gallo moves to and premium wines.
