frei brothers winery

　　Frei Brothers Reserve is a winemaking story more than a century in the making. In 1890, Swiss immigrant Andrew Frei purchased the core of what is now Frei Ranch in Sonoma County's Dry Creek Valley. The superb stretch of land was already a vineyard, but Frei brought it to prominence when he built a winery that produced 20,000 cases of wine annually by 1895. In 1903, Frei turned the winery over to his sons, Walter and Louis, who adopted the name Frei Brothers. 　　After the repeal of Prohibition, the vineyards caught the eye of Julio Gallo, winemaker for the rapidly expanding E. & J. Gallo Winery. The Gallo family began buying grapes from Frei Ranch, eventually signing an agreement to purchase the estate's annual wine grape crop. 　　When Andrew Frei's descendents retired in the late 1970s, the Gallo family purchased Frei Ranch, further developing the vineyard and the winery. Today, Frei Brothers Reserve carries on the rich legacy of both Their home vineyard and Sonoma's celebrated appellations. 　　弗雷兄弟酒庄历史是一个关于酿酒的故事，有超过一个世纪之久。在1890年，瑞士移民安德鲁·弗雷购买了现在的弗雷牧场索诺玛县干河流域的核心。一片精湛的土地现在已经是一个葡萄园，但在弗雷把它兴起之前到1895年为止，他建立了一个每年生产20,000箱葡萄酒的酒厂。在1903年，弗雷把酒厂交给他的儿子，Walter和路易斯，他确定了弗雷兄弟的酒庄名字。 　　葡萄园的胡里奥·加洛，E.&J. Gallo酿酒厂的酿酒师迅速扩大业务。加洛家庭开始购买葡萄从弗雷牧场，最终签署了一项协议，购买每年的高产量的酿酒葡萄。 　　当安德鲁·弗雷的后代在20世纪70年代末退休，高卢家庭购买弗雷牧场，使得葡萄园和酿酒厂得以进一步发展。
