  Ms. LOFGREN. Mr. Speaker, the Santa Clara Valley, or Silicon Valley, 
is home to many successful businesses that were founded by immigrants. 
I rise today to recognize one such business, Guglielmo Winery, which is 
celebrating the ninetieth anniversary of its establishment this year. 
In 1908, Emilio Guglielmo departed from the small town of Susa, in the 
Piedmont region of Italy, in search of the American dream. Upon his 
arrival in San Francisco, Emilio began working at a tannery, and his 
wife Emilia worked at a French laundry. After fifteen years of hard 
work, the Guglielmos had set aside enough to purchase fifteen acres in 
Morgan Hill, where they established their winery. Emilia and Emilio 
passed the winery down to their son

George W. and his wife Madeline in 1945. Guglielmo Winery is now in its 
third generation of family ownership--jointly managed by Emilio's 
grandsons George E., Gene, and Gary--and holds title as the oldest 
continuously operating family-owned winery in the Santa Clara Valley. 
On September 12, Guglielmo Winery will celebrate this significant 
milestone in traditional Guglielmo fashion: with friends, family, and 
wine. I congratulate them on this significant milestone and wish the 
Guglielmos many years of fruitful harvests.
