Bartles & Jaymes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bartles & Jaymes is a popular flavored wine cooler and malt beverage line produced by the E & J Gallo Winery in the United States. Flavors include Strawberry Daiquiri, Fuzzy Navel, Exotic Berry, Margarita, Pina Colada, Classic Original, Melon Splash, Blackberry, Raspberry Daiquiri, Strawberry Cosmopolitan, Blue Hawaiian, Orange Sunset, Apple Passion, and Red.
The product line is well remembered for its folksy television commercials which ran from 1985 to 1991. Two elderly gentlemen characters, Frank Bartles and Ed Jaymes (played by David Joseph Rufkahr and Dick Maugg, respectively), sat on a front porch and related their new discoveries or projects on which they were working. They were patterned after two men who started a little winery of their own that eventually became Ernest & Julio Gallo Winery. Bartles did all the talking, and ended each commercial with the tagline, "... and thank you for your support."
