Wine North Fork Long Island?

[Innkeeper]

Hi Filmnoises, and welcome to the Wine Board. You will not find any North Fork wines at Trader Joe's prices. If you use Google you will be able to scout out what is available, and the best you will be able to do for merlot and pinot grigio (gris) is the midteens. Availablity could be another problem, as many of those wineries are inbetween releases right now, and don't have large production to begin with.

My recommendation is to contact a large retailer such as Pop's Wines in Island Park, L.I. (www.popswine.com) an order some Italian Pinot Grigio and Merlot, and have them ship it where you want. They will have offerings in the $10 and under range.
