Most people have seen the fire-breathing bear on a wine bottle that’s the Gnarly Head label. Owned by Delicato Family Vineyards, Gnarly Head is a recognized brand that most people have tried. However, the 1924 Double Black red wine is not as recognizable. Paying tribute to the Prohibition era when growing and producing wine was illegal but people did it anyways with whatever they could grow, this wine is a blend of mostly zinfandel and some other red grapes thrown in there. It obviously is more complex and tastes better than those wines did but it’s still very smooth and easy to drink. Blackberry and warm baking spice make it pair with bbq ribs or charbroiled burgers. So for only $10 at Total Wine (and maybe other places, too) you can grab a bottle for dinner any day of the week. It’s a great deal at that price.
