AVAWine.com is absolutely thrilled to bring you Galleron Signature Wines. It seems, Gary Galleron had no choice, he was born with Rutherford dust under his fingernails and Cabernet Sauvignon in his veins. Gary grew up playing in the vineyards on the street which bears his family name, Galleron Road . His grandparents, French immigrants, Angele & Virgile Galleron, settled in the Napa Valley in 1918 and began the winegrowing legacy that Gary maintains today. Gary knows Rutherford dust, he has worked on his family's grape ranch in Rutherford since birth, learning every aspect of the wine industry, literally from the ground up. Gary never learned to rollerskate - he was too busy picking grapes or pruning vines or lighting smudge pots.

Galleron Signature Wines is very much a family business. Gary, of course, crafts the wines - his sister Paula handles the mailing list and business affairs, and is the cordial voice you encounter when you call. And, the fourth generation of Gallerons, Paula’s son Matthew, is involved as well - packing and labeling, and getting purple during crush.

We urge all AVAWine.com clients to visit the Galleron Website and learn about this tremendous family and their winemaking story: http://www.galleronwine.com/pages/history2.html
