Gallo has announced yet another acquisition this year. This time it's Talbott Vineyards in the Santa Lucia Highlands AVA. Talbott was founded by Robb Talbott in 1982 and like many of the other wineries in the region has come to be known for its chardonnay and pinot noir. The sale includes the Talbott brand, the winery located 21 miles south of Monterey Bay, the tasting room in Carmel Valley, and the 525-acre Sleepy Hollow Vineyard, which Talbott purchased in 1994.
