JULIO GALLO
He signs on the cover of a November 27, 1972 issue of Time magazine
Magazine Cover signed: "Julio R Gallo", 8¼x11. Time magazine cover for November 27, 1972. Cover story: "American Wine: There's Gold in Them Thar Grapes". In 1933, 23-year-old Julio Gallo (1910-1993) and his 24-year old brother, Ernest (1909-2007), founded their winemaking business with $5,000 in borrowed money, Julio's life savings ($900.23) and two pre-Prohibition pamphlets Ernest had found in the public library. The brothers were pioneers in bottling and branding their own wines, introduced domestic sparkling wines and used creative television advertising to promote their varied products. Julio handled the winemaking, while Ernest handled the selling of their wines. Julio was killed in a jeep accident in 1993. Ernest, who was involved in the business into his 90s, died on March 6, 2007 -- just 12 days before his 98th birthday. The firm remained family-owned. Realizing annual revenues of $1.5 billion, it supplies 25% of all table wines consumed in the U.S., is the nation's largest wine exporter and distributes its table wines, sparkling wines, beverage wines and distilled spirits in 90 countries around the globe. Lightly worn. Otherwise, fine condition.
