Pennywise Merlot
Honest everyday Merlot, poured plain and priced fair in Commack.
The story behind Pennywise
Merlot is the soft, round red that made Bordeaux blends drinkable and put a lot of American dinner tables at ease. Expect plum and dark cherry, low tannin, and a smooth finish that does not fight your food. It is the red we hand people who want something gentle with pasta, burgers, or a Tuesday roast chicken.
We keep Pennywise Merlot 750mL in the shop here in Commack, a straight value bottle at 12.99. We stock small, one or two bottles at a time, so call ahead if you want to be sure it is on the shelf.

Which Pennywise is right for you?
Both Pennywise bottles sit at 12.99, which is the kind of price that lets you keep a red on the counter without thinking hard about it. Merlot for the roast and the pasta pot, Pinot Noir for when you want something lighter. We stock just a bottle or two at a time, so a quick call to the Commack shop is smart before you drive over.
Soft enough for tomato sauce and burgers without overpowering dinner.
Bright and gentle, good chilled slightly with chicken or mushrooms.
