· The World-Class Wines Of Gallo Of Sonoma Complete The Sensory Experience As Preferred Wines Of The Los Angeles Philharmonic At Walt Disney Concert Hall HEALDSBURG, Calif. (October 1, 2003) Gallo of Sonoma today announced its affiliation with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and its status as the "Preferred Wines of the Los Angeles Philharmonic at Walt Disney Concert Hall" that allows music aficionados to experience world-class wines from Gallo of Sonoma while listening to some of the world's most talented musicians.
This collaboration creates the perfect pairing of elegance, architecture and design, and wine. The extraordinary Frank Gehry-designed Walt Disney Concert Hall will mark history when its doors open on October 23, and will be one of the most remarkable destinations in which to experience music. The sensory experience of architecture, acoustics and wines from Gallo of Sonoma, which will be available to concertgoers along with other premium wines at all intermission bars and in the two restaurants inside the concert hall, will be one of sight, sound and taste. The lauded work of architect Frank Gehry, the award-winning wines of third-generation family winemaker Gina Gallo, and the music created by Music Director Esa-Pekka Salonen and talented musicians will join together to create an unforgettable experience that will delight the senses. "Our family is passionate about wine and about the arts. We congratulate all those who were part of creating this world-class Walt Disney Concert Hall for the people of Los Angeles and the many visitors from all over the world," said Gina Gallo. "Music enriches our lives and we are excited about our partnership with the Los Angeles Philharmonic to offer the opportunity to celebrate with great music and great wine," said Gallo. Gallo of Sonoma Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot are some of the exceptional wines that will be available at the Walt Disney Concert Hall intermission bars. Gallo of Sonoma is also excited to participate in the Los Angeles Philharmonic Gala Events on October 23 - 25, when the Walt Disney Concert Hall officially opens its doors for the very first time. To celebrate the exciting opening, Gina Gallo will personally select the award-winning Gallo of Sonoma wines to complement the culinary delights of The Patina Group's Master Chef Joachim Splichal, exclusive food service provider at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Gallo of Sonoma Winery has been among the world's most awarded wineries since its first wines were released in 1993, under the leadership of third-generation family members, Gina and Matt Gallo, the sister and brother team of winemaker and winegrower. With premium vineyards and a world-class winery located in the heart of Sonoma County's Dry Creek Valley, Gallo of Sonoma is the proud recipient of Premio Gran VinItaly 2002, and the only American winery to ever be named "International Winery of the Year" three times (1998, 2001 and 2002). This year, Gallo of Sonoma celebrates the Gallo Family's 70 years of winemaking. Join us in the tasting room in Healdsburg, CA or visit www.gallosonoma.com.
