The Mirassou Winery was a winery, founded in 1854 by Louis Pellier (1817–72) and his brother Pierre (1823–94) in what is now known as California's Silicon Valley, and for many years an icon of the agricultural heritage of the Santa Clara Valley.
The brand name "Mirassou" was purchased by wine industry giant Gallo in 2003,[1] and the Mirassou family no longer controls its wine making process or marketing.
Instead, the wines are made in the Modesto area, headquarters of Gallo.
Another scion of the family, Steven Mirassou, continues the family's six generations of wine-making in the Livermore Valley with his wine brands, Steven Kent Winery[2] and Lineage.
Steven Mirassou briefly owned the La Rochelle winery after purchasing the brand from his cousins, fifth-generation family members, Daniel and Peter Mirassou in May 2005.
