Hi Bill and Everybody, Bill wrote the above post. Because I had reserched Christian Brothers Brandy some time ago I questioned the GF status of E&J Brandy, e-mailed Bill and he gave me the phone no. that he had used for me to check out. Today I called Gallo Winery and talked to Rebecca. Gallo's ingreadiants in there brandy is GF, however they age there brandy in used bourbon barrels. I suggest that you use your own judgement on this, I have no idea what the probability of gluten making its way into the brandy from the used bourbon barrels is, however I do avoid brandy untill I find one that uses new barrels.
