Da Vinci, a new Chianti that Gallo produced with Cantine de Leonardo Da Vinci's Alberto Antinoni, hit stores last year and is similarly higher priced. Like Pont d'Avignon, Da Vinci has the slick packaging of Gallo's other imports. Here too the taste is fruity, but with the tannins and acidity one should expect in an authentic Tuscan...

"You don't know what Jane Pauley had for breakfast, but you know what I had. People regard their radio stations...
Branding, like ballet, becomes poetry in motion, a slick sequence of moves that turn a mere job into an art form. Whether breaking broncs or chasing wild cows across cedar-infested slopes, punching cows demands courage, precision and a certain élan. Ross Knox understands the cowboy's art. So does fellow Poet Georgie Sicking...
