Blood and Wine: the story of the Gallo Wine Empire
This is an excellent book. The author does an outstanding job of telling both sides whenever a conflict arises. Obviously a great researcher, Hawkes pulls out information that was deliberately hidden.
Hawkes does an amazing job of showing the personality of the subjects with an even hand.
This is a fair, balanced account. If one had to find a criticism it would be that Hawkes was too reluctant to be accusatory when the facts are clear.
If you have even a slight interest in the subject, this book is worthy of searching for.

An Utter Hatchet Job
The book is ponderous garbage. The last third of the book is devoted to a one-sided account of the inter-family trademark infringement lawsuit that Gallo Winery won after a trial and won again on appeal. As one who is intimately familiar with the case, I can tell you that her account is pure fiction - - wishful thinking on the defendant's part. Similar Products
