"Parents grew grapes for home winemakers during Prohibition. Father killed mother, self, in 1933. Ernest and brother Julio (d. 1993) started wine production soon after. Original business built on jug wine and Night Train, but recent growth from high-end and midprice juice. Today E&J Gallo Winery the world's second-largest vintner. Son Joseph runs daily affairs. Ernest Gallo Clinic & Research Center at UC, San Francisco studies alcohol's effects on the brain."
