I didn't know there was a winery in Modesto. That probably means the wine will suck, since I can't see that being the best climate for grapes. All the good stuff is right down the road from my house.
Not that I'm saying Walmart would be a seller of fine wine anyways...

After having lived in the valley for more than 2 decades, I can say that I agree with Modesto not being the best "wine country", but I can't I say that anything I've had by E&J G has been better than "fair." Should be a good supplier of Wal-Mart varieties.
The only thing close to them would be Bartles & Jaymes (sp?), which we refer to in the Valley as "Dos Okies"; if you remember the two old guys in the commercials, you'll understand. I vote for a few more names: Gran Tornadeau, Chateau Ripple, Chateau neuf du bird dog.
