Very Inspirational - Story of the "Great American Dream"

Great book to read, especially if you are part of a start-up\family business. Focus is on hard work, guts and determination. If you are thinking about going into business for yourself, read it first!! Easy reading.

How Two Poor Kids Built an Empire

This is the short and simply-written story of how two poor guys, through hard work and intelligence, created the wine business in the United States. Their lives were the American Dream. The book offers a good lesson for the current generation: work hard, take risks, and good things will happen. Unfortunately, the book reads as if Gallo's lawyers were all over it and that is perhaps its biggest shortcoming. It leaves many questions and details unanswered. It would be fascinating to hear the "war stories" of Ernest while he is still alive to tell them. With any luck there will be a sequel.
