The story

The story behind Irony

Irony Pinot Noir comes out of Monterey County, on California's Central Coast, where morning fog off the Salinas Valley stretches the growing season and holds the grape's natural acidity in place. The label belongs to Delicato Family Wines, founded in Manteca in 1924 by Sicilian immigrant Gaspare Indelicato. Third-generation brothers Chris and Jay Indelicato launched Irony around 2000, and the name is a joke at their own expense: both swore off the family farm before coming back to run it.

The fruit is drawn from cooler sites including the San Bernabe Vineyard, and the winemakers blend across several clonal blocks for depth. Aging runs through stainless steel and toasted oak, which brings supple tannin and a little violet and cocoa around the black cherry core.

Buying guidance

Which Irony is right for you?

Irony Pinot Noir sits at $13.99 for the 750mL, and the Black label matches it bottle for bottle. That is value tier money for Monterey County fruit, and it is the reason we keep both on the shelf rather than picking a favorite. The Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay run $12.99 each. Availability moves, so call ahead at (631) 343-7200 or check the listing before you drive over. Buy Irony Pinot Noir online and we will have it waiting at the counter in Commack.
