Trinchero Family Estates

PROFILE Family-owned Trinchero Family Estates (formerly Sutter Home Winery) gets the credit for white zinfandel. The Trinchero family has been making wines since 1947, when it bought a 73-year-old Napa Valley winery that had been dormant since Prohibition. Chairman Bob Trinchero brought the winery to national prominence by inventing mild white zinfandel in 1972. Trinchero makes a variety of inexpensive wines, including Sutter Home, Soleo, Portico, Montevina, and Sutter Home Fre (nonalcoholic). The inventor of single-serve bottles offers a superpremium line ($12 to $30) under the M. Trinchero label. The company also sells Italian-style pasta sauces and vinegar through its Sutter Home Premium Foods division.  COMPETITION Constellation Brands, Inc. (STZ) E. & J.
