[challenge entry] Sick of being second on the label to his sibling
Julio left his henchmen specific instructions in his will as to what to do with his brother Ernest.

It's what Ernest would've wanted, probably, and at 97 it was his time soon anyway.

EDIT: :oP The posting borked it somehow, fixed

# Whoops there it is
I had to look up who he is

Ernest Gallo is the hard-charging patriarch of the family-owned E&J Gallo Winery in Modesto, California. The company is the largest winemaker in the world, and the producer of several popular brands including Carlo Rossi wines and Bartles & Jaymes wine coolers. It is also a political powerhouse which over the years has given millions of dollars to candidates of both parties. For all its success, the business has in some ways kept a low profile. Eighty-six year-old Ernest Gallo gives few interviews and the winery offers none of the tours and tastings found at other California vineyards.
