Good Rioja Website

[Brian Barry]

Attached is a link to a blog that covers Rioja from a few angles -- history, tasting notes, food, culture. If you want to educate yourself about Rioja, this is a good place to start.

I especially like the three Doug Frost videos embedded (you have to scroll down the page a bit). He is a teacher at the Culinary Institute of America and the three videos (about ten minutes total) are informative and a little funny. I know I learned something.

I have no affiliation with the website or with anything Riojan (is that a word?) other than I like the wine.

Thanks for posting this. I too very much enjoyed the Doug Frost videos--the white zin sparkling auslese was classic!

Yup, thanks for posting. I look forward to digging through the archives, seems to be some great notes on Rioja whites. One of my interests.
