CRAZY BEAUTIFUL WINES
Our Story
"Crazy Beautiful Wines" is a family-owned wine brand established in 2008 by the Gallivan family, initially inspired by trips to Argentina. It began with the "Loca Linda" label, meaning "crazy beautiful" in Argentine slang, and has since expanded to offer high-quality, affordable wines from France, Italy, and Argentina. The company focuses on producing wines in a unique one-liter format—33% larger than the standard 750ml bottle—equating to about seven glasses per bottle, emphasizing shareability with "Lovers, Family, and Friends."
​
The portfolio includes a Malbec and Torrontés from Argentina (Loca Linda), Rosé and Sauvignon Blanc from France (Jolie Folle), and Pinot Grigio and Sangiovese from Italy (Bella Pazza), all sourced from sustainable and the Italians from organically farmed vineyards. Founded by Jimmy Gallivan Jr., a former wine collector who kickstarted the venture by selling a rare 1982 Chateau Lafite Rothschild (don't ask), the business is now passed on as father-son operation with sons Jimmy III (President and CEO) and Jack Gallivan as Marketing and Sales on board.
​
Based in Dallas, Texas, Crazy Beautiful Wines targets casual drinkers, particularly those in their 20s and 30s, seeking value and accessibility. The wines are distributed across mutipul states, available at places like Central Market and Pogo's in Texas, and are praised for their elegant, easy-drinking profiles. The company rebranded from Loca Linda to Crazy Beautiful Wines in 2018 to unify its growing international offerings under a cohesive identity.
