The story behind it
The maker
Founded in 1975 by brothers Ernest and Julio Gallo in Modesto, California, E&J was created with the vision of making premium, accessible brandy. Over the decades, it has grown to become America's most preferred and award-winning brandy brand.
How it is made
Crafted at the E&J distillery and production estate in California, this brandy is distilled using traditional copper pot stills. It is aged for at least four years in selected American oak barrels to develop its signature VSOP character and complexity.
