Mailing List

So you want to be a trucker? Upon release in March, first crack at the release is given to the truckers: those on the mailing list. At that time, you will be notified how to go about getting your hands on some of “da Truck.” (Ordering is done, at that time, through this website).

Occasionally, I’ll have a little stash of wine saved back, or I am holding some wine for a restaurant that is a little slow in paying, and there will be wine available later in the year. I see all mail-list sign ups, so please do inquire, via the “notes,” if you are interesting in purchasing wine outside of the release window. Also, I’d also love to know how you found me.

As far as how often I contact folks, the offering letter in March goes out via both snail mail and e-mail. I also typically mail out a small update in Fall. If we happen to be doing a tasting in your area, I’ll sometimes e-mail those Truckers that live in the vicinity. Finally, there's a box below that subscribes you to the regular updates on the PLOG. Uncheck it if you want to ban my intermittent drivel from your inbox.

Accolades

"This wine walks the walk (or should I say rides the road). The pretty ruby color draws you in. The sexy nose offers up dark cherries, roses, nutmeg, and toasty oak. Flavors of cherries, cinnamon and vanilla are luscious enough to nibble on. The wine finishes with a sexy candied cherry kiss that lingers. A beautifully balanced wine with sensual creaminess that only Pinot Noir can offer. Pinot Noir All-American 2006"
–PinotFile Newsletter, Dec, 2006


"Each of the past three years, Fortner and his green 1966 Ford pickup have turned out a tiny batch—500 to 700 cases—of Pinot Noir that has garnered accolades and a mailing list of rabid fans, endearingly called “truckers.” His one-man operation is the epitome of specialty small-batch winemaking.” –Men’s Journal, “Napa’s New Breed,"
–October, 2007


"One man show Kent Fortner has, in a few short years, established a loyal and thirsty following for his rare Napa Valley Pinot Noir. Sourced from the Nord and Suscol Ridge Vineyards—the southernmost and coolest in the Napa appellation (even south of Carneros!)—[the wine] gives a clear voice to what Kent refers to as ‘the prettier side’ of Pinot Noir. And, yes there really is a Green Truck..."
