A bottle of Meiomi Pinot Noir is silky with aromas of strawberry, jam fruit, mocha and vanilla. The palate has dark cherry, blackberry, mocha and oak for depth.
Pinot Noir Meiomi at Olive Garden is the premium red wine option on the Wine and Beer to Go menu, priced at $33.00 per bottle — the highest-priced wine available for takeout at the restaurant — and containing 660 calories. Meiomi Pinot Noir is produced from a blend of grapes sourced from coastal California appellations including Monterey, Santa Barbara, and Sonoma, producing a wine with silky texture and flavors of strawberry, blackberry, mocha, and vanilla that are characteristic of the coastal California Pinot Noir style.
The $8.25 premium over the base-tier wines reflects Meiomi's position as a recognized premium Pinot Noir brand with national distribution and a strong reputation. Pinot Noir is the most complex red grape on the Olive Garden wine menu, producing a wine that is simultaneously light enough not to overpower pasta dishes and structured enough to complement the restaurant's heavier meat-based preparations. The mocha and vanilla notes in the Meiomi version pair particularly well with the balsamic glaze used in the Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo.

$33.00 per bottle for the Wine and Beer to Go option. It is the most expensive wine on the Olive Garden takeout menu, priced $8.25 above the base-tier wines.
Silky and approachable with strawberry, blackberry, and jam fruit flavors layered with mocha and vanilla from oak aging. The palate shows dark cherry, blackberry, and oak depth. It has a softer, more approachable tannin structure than Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot.
Steak Gorgonzola Alfredo is the premium pairing — the wine's dark fruit and vanilla notes complement both the steak and the balsamic glaze. Also pairs well with Chicken Parmigiana, Lasagna Classico, Tour of Italy, and the 6 oz. Sirloin. Pinot Noir's light tannins also work alongside Chicken Marsala.
Meiomi is a California Pinot Noir blended from grapes grown in three coastal appellations: Monterey County, Santa Barbara County, and Sonoma County. All three provide cool, fog-influenced conditions that produce Pinot Noir with the ripe fruit character and soft structure the brand is known for.
At $33 for a bottle, it is the premium tier and meant for guests who specifically want Pinot Noir. Compared to restaurant pricing in general, a $33 retail-quality Pinot Noir at Olive Garden represents reasonable value — the same wine retails in stores for approximately $18 to $20 per bottle.
