We have a WINER!
So yes.....
the largest employer in Modesto, CA is the Gallo Wineries..
and I see where most of you were going this week
with Ernest and Julio Gallo.....
but you ALL only had the Nighttrain bottle half full.
It was Ernest Gallo and Robert Mondavi of course!!
Yea for me.
--Ernest learned how to make certain wines
by researching it in the Modesto Library.
--His brother Julio died in a local car crash here at age 83...no seatbelt.
--Their Dad killed himself then.... their Mom.
--Gallo Wineries make Nighttrain and Thunderbird wines.....
but do not put their name on the label.
So since both Ernest and Robert lived well into their 90's.....
I have decided to have wine now at every meal.
...and since DG is the smallest employer in Modesto, CA
after this weekend's Grand Opening of our 10,000th store.....
I must go check on the competition.
