Wi-Fi TV Inc. (Pink Sheets:WIFT), www.Wi-FiTV.com, announced today
that Fred T. Franzia, President of Bronco Wine Company, Ceres,
California, is making a rare appearance on www.WineNationTV.com.
Mr. Franzia is one of the most important and controversial figures
in the American wine industry. WineNationTV.com is America's
fastest growing wine show on the Internet. The first episode in a
three part series begins airing at 12:00 noon PST on Friday, August
29 on www.WineNationTV.com. Episode Two premieres on September 12,

episodes on-demand (select from the list of on-demand videos at
www.WineNationTV.com page). The episodes also will appear as part

"Fred Franzia is one of the giants of the industry," said Ricardo,
Executive Producer and Host of WineNationTV. "We are very fortunate
and excited to have him as a guest." Bronco is the fourth largest
winery in the United States, selling over 20 million cases of wine
per year with wine brands including Forest Glen, Napa Ridge,
Forestville, Harlow Ridge, Fat Cat, Bad Dog Ranch, Crane Lake,
Estrella and Montpellier. Their Charles Shaw brand (affectionately
known as Two Buck Chuck), made for the Trader Joe's chain, is one
of the most successful brands in wine history. Bronco's Fox Brook
brand, created for SaveMart grocery stores, is another amazing
success story, with annual sales topping over one million cases
last year. In the WineNationTV episodes, Mr. Franzia discusses many
subjects, including growing up in the wine business with the
industry's pioneers, elitism in the industry, demystifying wine,
selling wine at a fair price, how larger volumes can make better
quality wine and how "California should be the primary appellation
for wines made in California.� In some of the more controversial
segments Mr. Franzia says, "Wine Writer Robert Parker and The Wine
Spectator Magazine do a disservice to the industry" and the
phenomenon of "bottle shock" (wines showing poorly soon after
bottling) is "imaginary." Mr. Franzia also discusses his
recollections of his uncle Ernest Gallo. "Fred Franzia covers a lot
of territory in our interview," said Ricardo. "He has a lot of
strong opinions on many subjects and I believe these episodes of
WineNationTV should be required viewing for wine consumers and
everyone in the wine industry." About WineNationTV WineNationTV is
