Friday’s tasting: Italian w**es with Le Storie 🇮🇹

Le Storie, which means “the stories” in Italian, is a local importer of hand-crafted w**es sourced throughout all regions of Italy.
Join us and our friend Jay from Le Storie this Friday as we travel through Italy, tasting each “story”, from soil to vine, from fruit to glass, learning about the w**e and w**emakers that make these small releases so exceptional. Arrivederci!

Jay will pour these w**es:

La Staffa W**ery - Le Marche
🍊Verdicchio Classico Superiore 2024
100% Verdicchio
Fresh and mouthwatering with notes of clementines, almond flowers, tart white peaches,, and a signature zippy, mineral-driven finish with bright acidity.

🫧Mai Sentito Marche Frizzante 2025
80% Verdicchio, 20% Trebbiano
‘Mai sentito’ means ‘unheard of,’ and this sparkling Verdicchio, bottled before the second fermentation is finished, is certainly the first of its type we’ve seen! Fresh and fun, with citrus notes and a pleasant fizz.

Castello di Montepo - Tuscany
🍒 Morellino di Scansano 2022
95% Sangiovese, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon
The w**e opens with fresh red berry fruit and an ethereal, floral lift that reflects the terroir. Sour cherry and a touch of spice carry through the palate, framed by balanced acidity and supple tannins that give it real drinkability without sacrificing structure

Venica & Venica - Friuli
💐Collio Pinot Grigio ‘Jesera’ 2024
100% Pinot Grigio
With a coppery hue, it opens with a refreshing bouquet of wildflowers, stones and nuances of ginger.. It’s soft-textured underscored by tactile mineral tones and a core of brisk acidity. This finishes long and perfumed, leaving a subtle grippiness with hints of Asian pear.

Ettore Germano - Piedmont
Langhe Nebbiolo 2024
🍇100% Nebbiolo
Aromas of violet, to***co and cinnamon carry you to a palate that is firm yet silky, with smooth tannins and a subtle astringency that leaves the palate clean and vibrant with a long and harmonious finish.

💐 Viognier 2024
100% Viognier
Opens up with floral orange blossom, fresh pear, and ripe papaya aromas, layered with a subtle mineral wet stone tone. The palate brings juicy tropical and orchard fruit flavors to the front with bright acidity and a rounded texture.

🍯 Petit Manseng 2023
100% Petit Manseng
This w**e has expressive notes of grilled pineapple, caramel, honey and creme brûlée. This w**e is full-bodied, has lively acidity, a rich texture and a long, refreshing finish.

🍑 Ascot White 2024
65% Viognier, 35% Petit Manseng
The palate provides refreshing flavors of white peach and mango, with a lush tropical backbone and crisp acidity.

🍒 Cab Franc 2024
100% Cab Franc
This light and refreshing expression of Cabernet Franc bursts with vibrant red fruit aromas and flavors of red berries, pomegranate, and black cherry. As this was aged for 8 months in neutral barrel, this w**e has preserved a bright and juicy freshness with elegant fine tannins.

🍇 Ascot Red 2023
40% Merlot, 32% Petit Verdot, 28% Cabernet Franc
Medium-bodied and well structured, this blend has deep elegant notes of dark ripe blackberries and plum, followed by fine-grained tannins. This w**e is plush, has a lingering finish and has immense depth.

What w**es are the MWWS team sipping on as the leaves change? 🍁🍂

Jake’s Pick:
2023 Domaine de la Renardière Arbois-Pupillin Trousseau “À la Dame” - Jura, France 
100% Trousseau 

A flavor profile of cidery spice and appley skins — everything that screams fall! There is a savoriness to it, yet has a crispness to it like the fall air. This is a very transitional w**e — not super light and bright, but much more levity to it. 

Abbey’s Pick:
La Cuadrilla 2023 - Santa Barbara, CA 
50% Syrah, 20% Grenache, 15% Mourvèdre, 15% Sangiovese 

Floral, silky red berry and plum profile. Has a gorgeous freshness to it, but also has a darker, peppery feel and fine tannin on the back end. This w**e is plush yet has a crunchiness to it, just like the leaves on the ground! 

Kristen’s Pick:
Comando G La Bruja De Rozas Garnacha 2024 - Sierra de Gredos, Spain 
100% Garnacha 

Not too heavy, not too light. A perfect red to bridge the gap between summer + fall. Bright notes of crunchy red fruits balanced by a flinty minerality, all nuanced with aromas of purple flowers and herbs.

Today’s tasting: northern Italian w**es with Russ Lorber, IWA , founder of importing company Wide Roots, LLC ! 🇮🇹 Italian w**e is often lumped together in one category, when in reality, from north to south, there is massive differentiation.

Today 4-7pm: take a trip to the Mosel 🇩🇪 with a Riesling tasting!

From dry to lusciously sweet, Riesling offers a spectrum of styles that cater to diverse palates and is loved and respected by w**e enthusiasts and industry professionals.

Yet, curiously enough, it is rarely a top pick for most w**e drinkers. I think, in part, because it’s often misunderstood. 🤔 Let’s see if we can change that!

Riesling is renowned for its versatility, complexity, and ability to express terroir like no other grape variety. 🍇

For today’s tasting, we will explore trocken (dry) and feinherb (slightly off-dry) styles of Riesling from the Mosel region of Germany, 🇩🇪 with two important w**eries located just across the Mosel River from each other.

Swing by 4-7pm for a taste of…

🍑 Weingut Weiser-Künstler Riesling Feinherb 2025
Fermented in stainless steel down to off-dry levels of residual sugar (18 g/l). Wild herbs, stone fruit and bergamot. Juicy with a long, fresh, slightly salty finish.

🍋 Weingut Vollenweider Riesling Trocken 2025
Fermented dry (no residual sugar here) in stainless steel (90%) and wooden cask (10%). Flowers, minty herbs, and aniseed with a tangy, smoky minerality. Mouth-wateringly tart!
