Divinos Pinot Grigio
Veneto Pinot Grigio, dry and crisp, poured in Commack for decades.
The story behind Divinos
Divinos Pinot Grigio comes out of the Veneto and Delle Venezie DOC in northeast Italy, where cool alpine air meets warmer maritime influence and keeps the grape's acidity sharp. The name means divine touch, and the winemaking stays out of the way: early harvest, gentle pressing off the pinkish gray skins, then fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel with no oak at all.
The grape itself started as a mutation of red Pinot Noir in Burgundy before it traveled to northern Italy. We have poured this style of Pinot Grigio in Commack for over 30 years, and it is the bottle we hand people who want something cold, dry and honest with dinner.

Two sizes, one wine: the 750mL for a quiet dinner and the 1.5L when the table gets long. Both are the same dry, unoaked Veneto white.

Which Divinos is right for you?
Divinos Pinot Grigio is priced like what it is: an everyday Italian white, not a special occasion trophy. The 750mL is $5, and the 1.5L is $11.98, which works out to roughly the price of two standard bottles for a magnum pour. The Divinos Montepulciano 750mL is also $5, and the Divinos Cabernet 1.5L is $11.99, so you can build a whole table of red and white for less than a single mid-shelf bottle elsewhere. Call the store at (631) 343-7200 for current stock.
Five dollars, bone dry, and it handles shrimp, chicken or a bowl of clams without argument.
A magnum of crisp white keeps a backyard table poured without a second trip to the fridge.
Firm enough for grilled meat, big enough that nobody has to ration the second glass.
Divinos cocktails and pairings
Chill it hard, 45 to 50 degrees, and keep the food light. The acidity cuts through fat and lemon both.
