E. & J. Gallo Winery (Gallo) announced today that it has agreed to purchase the Locations brand from Shooting Gallery Wines, LLC, a joint venture between innovator and winemaker\u00a0Dave Phinney<\/span>\u00a0and importer Aven\u00edu Brands, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the\u00a0Barcelona, Spain<\/span>-based Codorn\u00edu Ravent\u00f3s Group. \u00a0Locations is based on the simple concept of crafting wines that pay homage to a place of origin.<\/p>\n

Phinney, known for his excellent wines, bold imagery, and thirst for travel, has a passion for exploring the finest wine growing regions around the world.\u00a0 After a 2008 visit to the Maury appellation in the South of\u00a0France<\/span>, Phinney began pondering the possibilities of creating a wine that represented the very best aspects of a location.<\/p>\n

With an appetite for cross-appellation blending, Phinney envisioned what could be created with true winemaking freedom, and no constraints. \u00a0Shortly thereafter, Phinney began working with passionate growers, while exploring the culture and people of each location, to create the finest wine possible from different grape varieties throughout a region.\u00a0 Later that year, Locations was born.<\/p>\n

Today, Locations includes wines that represent the history and tradition of\u00a0France<\/span>,\u00a0Spain<\/span>,\u00a0Italy<\/span>,\u00a0Argentina<\/span>,\u00a0California<\/span>,\u00a0New Zealand<\/span>,\u00a0Oregon<\/span>,\u00a0Washington<\/span>,\u00a0Portugal<\/span>, Corsica, and\u00a0Texas<\/span>.<\/p>\n

This purchase supports Gallo’s mission to participate and excel in all segments of the wine market.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The acquisition includes the Locations brand and related inventory. The sale will close on\u00a0Friday, June 29<\/span>, 2018.\u00a0 Terms of the deal were not disclosed.<\/p>\n
