The Story Behind the Wine:

My Story Wine Company, based in Templeton, California, crafts wines from fruit grown in the Central Coast's Paso Robles AVA, specifically the Templeton Gap District. What sets this Malbec apart is its unique aging process—after fermentation, the wine is aged in Blue Note bourbon barrels, which are still wet with bourbon at the time of filling. This method infuses the wine with an extra dimension of smoky vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak, making it a standout among traditional Malbecs. Their philosophy is to produce approachable, food-friendly wines without added sugar or grape concentrate, ensuring a vegan-friendly profile. Each bottle invites consumers to share their own stories, fostering connection and conversation.
