Background
The Cucamonga Winery was a winery founded in 1933 by Alfred Accomazzo, who came to the
United States from Italy in 1902. The winery was located in Cucamonga, California - a
community that later became part of Rancho Cucamonga in 1977. The Cucamonga Winery mostly
produced jug and table wines and it was believed to be the first winery to use Cucamonga in
its name. Cucamonga Winery also sold wines under other labels, including "Romano" in New
York state. Romano was the name of a big distributor in New York and the state was the
winery's largest market.
