Terlato Wines, which was started by Anthony Terlato with his two sons Bill and John in 1996, has grown with one unwavering belief: EXCELLENCE. Federalist has a great American figure on each bottle, which shows respect and admiration for the wine-loving Founding Fathers. Winemaking in America began shortly after the arrival of Columbus. Wine, which was often rough in taste, gradually developed into a richer wine. It was around this time that Benjamin Franklin said, "Wine is a sure sign that God loves us, and loves our joy." In the United States, only two brands of wine sell 1 million cases a year at a price above $10, but Federalist has already sold 200,000 cases in just its second year.
