...most ambitious valley varietal venture was launched a decade ago by the brothers Ernest and Julio Gallo, the industry's biggest but not most celebrated producers. The results could finally be sampled when the firm recently began releasing 200,000 cases of its first varietals on a market earlier entered by such other California wineries as Lamont and Inglenook Navelle. Among the best are three white wines of French ancestry: a dry aromatic Sauvignon Blanc, a smooth pale Chenin Blanc and a Colombard, a rich, fruity wine that is somewhat sweeter than its French cousin. Gallo has also produced...
...Fresh Pond Shopping Center. Last year Gallo signed a sweetheart contract with the Teamsters in an effort to escape facing a struggle with the UFW over workers' rights, but the tactic hasn't been very successful.

Chavez will try to raise some money for his union Saturday night at a $5-a-plate dinner being held at Boston College's Roberts Center.

"No," he said proudly, "we have no trouble with leftists here. We are good people in Morochata, no Communists or atheists." Another glass for our guest, he signaled to the woman when he noticed I had emptied the pitcher. A second, and then a third glass more, despite all of my protestations as I felt myself going a bit dizzy. The room was beginning...
...Julio began arguing with the chicha woman, who criticized the government for the rapidly-increasing cost of living. "It is very difficult to make money on chicha now," she said. "It is so expensive to make." Don Julio seemed outraged, and launched into a long defense of the government. I decided to take my leave. They wanted me to stay for more, but no, I told them, I really couldn't. I had to meet with el padre. I went into my pocket for money, but, of course, they wouldn't let me pay. I thanked them and tottered...
