Winery Visit: Pellegrini Vineyard – 8.9 – James Meléndez / James the Wine Guy

This Pellegrini Vineyard and not to be confused to the west coast Pellegrini in the Russian River Valley (and to the best of my knowledge they are not related).   Pellegrini in Cutchoque was the first winery in the North Fork that I visited.  This winery produces a rather large array of wines:  Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay and a red and white blend.  Nice tasting room staff and overall experience.  Be sure to try their Merlot and Cabernet Franc—very well constructed and both are well known by the producer and the North Fork wine region.
