Gone off that Rossi!

Contrary to popular belief, I do have a real job beside blogging and hanging out on Coventry, I help run the wine department at Trader Joes. I have tried hundreds and hundreds of wine, but one we do not sell is Carlo Rossi. For a wine that has been around for over fifty years it’s really hitting its stride this year in Cleveland, for example, it has been featured in Fly.Unions video Poed Up video.
A salesman from day one, Charles “Carlo” Rossi started working for E&J Gallo Winery in 1953 alongside family friend Ernest Gallo. Two years later, Carlo Rossi’s Red Mountain wines were introduced and quickly became one of the winery’s top sellers.
His simple, straightforward approach to wine was reflected in these commercials, where he was known to coin memorable “Carlo-isms,” including the now famous “I like to talk about wine, but I’d rather drink it.”
