Forty Vines Pinot Noir
Everyday Pinot Noir at a price that keeps you pouring.
The story behind Forty Vines
Pinot Noir is the red of Burgundy, a thin skinned grape that gives pale color, bright acidity and red fruit rather than weight. It is grown widely now, from Oregon and California to New Zealand and points between, and the style swings from delicate and earthy to round and fruit forward. Forty Vines is a value label, and we say that plainly: the bottle does not claim a famous vineyard or a long pedigree. What it does is put honest, approachable Pinot in your glass at a price that makes a Tuesday dinner feel handled.
We have poured and sold a lot of everyday reds over three decades on Jericho Turnpike, and this is the kind of bottle we keep on the shelf for the nights you want a lighter red without ceremony. Serve it slightly cool and it behaves.

Which Forty Vines is right for you?
At $6.99 a bottle, Forty Vines Pinot Noir sits in the everyday drinking tier, and that is exactly where it belongs. The Cabernet Sauvignon is the same $6.99, so you can build a mixed case of both without thinking hard about it. The Sauvignon Blanc is listed at $6.99 as well but is currently out of stock; call the store and we will tell you when it lands. Buy a few bottles, keep one chilled, and you have a house red for the week.
Light enough for chicken and pasta, cheap enough to open without a reason.
Same $6.99 price, more grip, good for burgers and grilled meat.
Crisp and inexpensive, but check stock before you drive over.
Forty Vines cocktails and pairings
Keep it simple. Pinot Noir likes roast chicken, mushrooms, pork and anything with a little fat and salt.
