Gallo Beer Versus Gallo Wine

This is a tip for all of you who have been to Guatemala and miss the Gallo beer. As soon as I returned from my trip, I craved Gallo beer. I went to a great place in the Fruitvale District (I forget the name) and looked for the infamous rooster. I couldn't find it. But then, I saw a familiar bottle, except it was called Famosa. Apparently, the Gallo wine people in the States didn't take kindly to Gallo beer coming in and taking advantage of their good name (although they are pronounced so differently, I didn't even realize at first that they were spelled the same). So folks, if you want Gallo beer here, ask for a Famosa.
