I am an original cosponsor of this resolution and a longtime admirer of Ernest Gallo. who sadly passed away on March Ernest Gallo was a pioneer in the field of winemaking and a generous philanthropist. He was also a friend to me and my late husband. Congressman Robert Matsui. His story is remarkable and exemplifies the American dream. Born to Italian immigrants. Ernest and his brother Julio. took just $5.900 in savings and a winemaking pamphlet from the Modesto Public Library. and from this modest start built the worlds secondlargest winery. He foresaw the potential for the California wine industry and relied upon smart ideas and hard work to build an incredibly successful business that today serves as an industry model.
