A Study of the North Part I—Tre Venezie: Alto Adige, Friuli, & Veneto
This seated Study of seminar will be led by an IWM sommelier, who will showcase and pour wines from Italy’s Northeastern region. The storied land known as Tre Venezie is home to such cultural phenomena as Romeo & Juliet, Harry’s Bellini, and the famed Prosciutto San Daniele. Beyond the romance and culinary delights, there are the native varietals and esoteric winemakers that create some of Italy’s most overlooked wines. Roman, German, and Austrian heritages integrate to form the basis of this exemplary tasting. Guests will be treated to Prosecco, the traditional aperitif; Friuli’s quintessential pairing of Tai (formerly known as Tocai) and Prosciutto; the mystique of Amarone; and an aged Lagrein from the hills of Alto Adige. Eight wines and some regional pairings will complete this Tre Venezie adventure.
Participants Receive:
• Wine Note Booklet featuring IWM’s proprietary writing
• Sampling of regional foods paired with each wine tasted
• A “Taste of” eight different regional wines

From Campania to Sicilia: A Taste of Southern Italian Wines
Take this opportunity to taste some of our newest arrivals and focus on the artisanal wonders of the South. This casual walk-around tasting provides an exploration in the quality, style, and grape varietals from Campania, Sicilia, and Puglia. We also couldn’t resist including a new gem from Lazio, technically part of Central Italy. Absorb the colorful history of Southern Italy, once known for its bulk wines but now enjoying a Renaissance, proving its worth to be more than that of big reds and mass production. Whether it be Aglianico from the volcanic soils of Campania or Nero d’Avola from the hills of Sicilia, it is clear that the South has come a long way.
Participants Receive:
• Wine Note Booklet featuring IWM’s proprietary writing
• Sampling of regional cheeses and house-cured meats
• A “Taste of” six different regional wines

Special Wine Tasting Event:
Italian Wines That Inspired the Book: Passion on the Vine
For those spending Memorial Day weekend in the city,
IWM is offering a special wine event showcasing the
wines and producers that inspired IWM owner,
Sergio Esposito, to write his new book,
Passion on the Vine: A Memoir of Food,
Wine, and Family in the Heart of Italy.
Bill Buford describes the memoir
as “the best book about Italian
wine today," and we at IWM think
it’s the perfect summer read, integrating wine,
food, and Italian culture in an engaging, accessible
style. An IWM sommelier will lead the tasting,
retracing Sergio’s footsteps from
the hills of Piemonte to the Adriatic Coast
of Le Marche. Eight wines will be
poured, including selections from the estates of
Movia,
Sartarelli, Quintarelli, Biondi-Santi,
and Mascarello, accompanied by some regional
pairings to complete our book-to-wine experience.
Each guest will
receive a signed copy.
Participants Receive:
• A signed copy of Passion on the Vine
•Wine Note Booklet featuring IWM’s proprietary writing
• A “Taste of” eight different wines from Passion on the Vine
• Sampling of regional foods paired with each wine tasted

Studio Regionale:
Saturday tastings at IWM are presented in two formats,
both led by an IWM sommelier:
• ”A Taste of” program is for those
seeking a casual tasting experience, and provides a
general regional or topical overview in a walk-around,
relaxed context. Wines will be accompanied by a selection
of Italian antipasti.
• ”A Study of” program takes on a more
formal and sophisticated approach, addressing the history
and philosophy of the wines considered, and caters to
those looking to refine their wine knowledge and tasting
ability. This “sit-down” offering presents
the wine in the framework of a regional overview. The
wines will be paired with regional Italian foods. The
presentation is followed by a Q&A session.
Participants receive:
• Tasting Booklet that includes IWM’s proprietary
notes
• Sampling of Italian regional foods prepared by
IWM chefs
If you are in search of a gift for the discriminating
oenophile, there are few gifts that will rate as highly
