North Fork Project is a joint venture from Cutchogue’s Pellegrini Vineyards and Nassau County based importer/distributor Martin Scott. The aim is to put locally produced, sustainably farmed, conveniently packaged (1 liter) and tasty wines on Tri-Stater’s tables without a lot of hype, muss or fuss. Crisp and vibrant, this all stainless-steel Chardonnay is as reliable a Long Island sunrise.
