Was in my wine store today and saw a couple of bottles on sale for $14 (Canadian), so I scooped them up. This is from Louis Martini which, I believe, has recently been sold by Gallo?

Any thoughts?

Bruce, I knew that Gallo had purchased Martini a couple or three years ago, but I have heard nothing about them selling it off. What do you remember that I don't?

Sorry, my mistake. That should read "has recently been sold to Gallo."
