Pinot for the People. It is so much more than a call to arms. It is philosophy in action so join the revolution. We do not ask for thin, uninspired plonk to satisfy our desire for Pinot. We expect more from this noble grape. We demand rich, fruit-inspired, easy-drinking wine worthy of the Thanksgiving table and affordable enough to serve with tonight’s pizza. Good Pinot shouldn’t leave you out on the streets. We demand a Pinot we can proudly serve to friends, family, bosses, in-laws, neighbors and fellow revolutionaries. Mark West has heard the people the time has come Pinot for the People.
