Gallo Family Hearty Burgundy

This 12% alcohol, medium-bodied, dry red wine, was introduced in 1964 by E&J Gallo winery, of Modesto, California. It is sold only in 1.5 liter bottles, and is not particularly common, these days. The "Gallo Family" line of wines features fifteen varieties. Purchased for $7.99.

"We call it “our original Red Blend.” Our Hearty Burgundy combines mouth-watering richness with flavors ranging from dark berry to red plum. Since 1964 it’s been one of our family’s favorites, so we think you’ll enjoy it too. Hearty Burgundy’s well-balanced fruit and subtle hints of oak pair well with the bold and layered flavors of chili, Italian meat sauce, and grilled sausages."
