The better half of our wine trip to No. Spain focused on Rioja. Here are a few of the Bodegas we visited and the favorites tasted.
Rioja
Rioja and Valencian Paella
Valencian-style Paella, where meat is used instead of seafood, presents itself as a colorful blanket of yellow-golden rice redolent of savory saffron and spicy chorizo. . . the perfect pairing for Rioja!
Duck Breast and a Cult Pinot Smack-Down
A cult, California Pinot Noir gets smacked down by a Rioja Crianza? Yes, you read that correctly. How? It’s all about the sauce!
