Those that turn their noses up about Gallo, well, dumb butts, they took the minor grapes and made them veritals and implemented them with the State of California to mean something instead of just a filler Grape.

The Thompson seedless that you buy at the market was used for that. According to Cal. State law, the main grape only had to be 51 % and the rest was filler=Thompson seedless. Gallo changed that.

The wines now may mention Chenin Blanc, Petit Sihrar and others that were bulk grapes only. Fillers as it were for Charadonnay, and Gammay Beaujolais.

God, I have been out of the wine biz to long.


Cooking with wine gives the taste and flavor but cooks off the alchohal.

Box wines, heck there is nothing wrong with that especially when on is used to drinking First Growths in the old days. (French) that is.

It is a heck of a lot cheaper.
Now here is a gentleman who knows his alcohol. But, I pose to you, how well you know your gin?
