Upon a second reading, it really is sort of amazing how this guy manages to happily hold on to ye olde patriarchal beliefs...
"Robledo, 64, also struggled with the clash of American culture and the patriarchal traditions he brought from Mexico.
'When we first made a sauvignon blanc, I told the family I wanted to call it Seven Brothers for my sons. That was a mistake,' he says with a laugh. 'My two daughters were very angry.'
Another wine was less contentious. Los Braceros is a blend of cabernet sauvignon, syrah and merlot. 'Braceros means strong arms,' Robledo explained. 'A worker could bring his wife and one son. These grapes represent the family: father, mother and son.'"
