Cooking with wine is a great idea to enhance the flavor pattern of any dish.It adds that extra zing in your recipes and makes them super delicious.My excitement knew no bounds when Gallo Family Vineyards sent me their amazing Hearty Burgundy to mark its 50th Birthday Celebration.To commemorate this milestone Gallo Family Vineyards has produced a limited edition “Hearty Burgundy” which has a celebratory 50th Anniversary Label and a throwback wine blended to match as closely possible to the original Hearty Burgundy blend.What an honor to be asked to create something to mark this special occasion. Thankyou Gallo Family Vineyards.

Hearty Burgundy has been around for 50 years now.Being at the epicenter of “wine boom” in the early 70’s it has created a special place in the family tables around America and has been called “the best wine in the country” by the noted Wine Critic Robert Blazer.

Hearty Burgundy

Flavor wise, it combines mouth watering richness with flavors ranging from dark berry to red plum.With its well balanced fruit and subtle hints of oak,this medium bodied,dry wine pairs well with bold and layered flavors of chili,Italian meat sauce and grilled sausages.Its by far my favorite!

Its also the perfect wine for entertaining.Which brings us to my recipe.Since it combines well with Sausages,I’ve tried to recreate one of my favorite dish Bangers and Mash with a twist.It took me back to the time I spent in the UK.Pub lunches was a norm every weekend and I couldn’t wait to dig in to my favorite grilled sausages served on a bed of creamy mashed potatoes along with some gravy.The twist is the addition of this amazing Hearty Burgundy to make a sauce along with some garlic and mushrooms.I used hot Italian sausage that has garlic, fennel and chili flakes and the flavors combine beautifully.Its great for a crowd, since you can make your sauce and mashed potatoes ahead of time.Just grill your sausages and add them into the sauce to combine.Its comforting, its super easy and extremely delicious!
