ReMARKable Palate #197: Revisiting Rioja
I attend the Rioja Grand Tasting at City Winery in SoHo, and run into some old friends! At this first ever tasting in New York exclusively of Rioja wines, I speak with Maria Jose Lopez de Heredia, a winemaker whose great-grandfather founded the house steeped in tradition which she runs today. I get another taste of her fine aged white wines. I also speak with Adrian Murcia, who led my tour to Rioja nearly 3 years ago, and who writes about the region on his blog, www.blameitonrioja.com.
