Wine Wednesday ~ The Rioja Region of Spain
March 9, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
FreeOur next installment of Wine Wednesday on March 9th at 7:00 pm Eastern Time embraces the wines that emanate from the Rioja region of Spain. The Rioja (phonetic spelling RREE’-OH’-hah) is the oldest Designation of Origin in Spain (1925) and the first to earn Calificada status (1991). A broad yet landlocked geographic expanse stretching from west to east across the northcentral reaches of Spain, the Rioja is really three subregions representing three distinct terroir. Rioja is perhaps the most recognized Spanish wine region among Americans and is best known for berry-scented, barrel-aged red wines made from Tempranillo and Garnacha. It is arguably Spain’s top wine region. It is certainly the most famous, rivaled only by Jerez. There are so many other noteworthy Spanish wine regions, but we begin with Rioja, which requires much exploration before we move on to other Spanish wine regions later this year. So, enjoy Rioja while we linger in it for now!
So, please secure a bottle of wine from the Rioja region and join us on Wednesday, March 9th at 7:00 pm Eastern Time for this week’s iteration of Wine Wednesday! And, please remember to send pictures of your wine bottle’s front and back labels to WineCat@pa.net for inclusion in this coming week’s PowerPoint slide presentation. Please do so no later than Tuesday evening, March 8th.
We look forward to seeing you this Wednesday on March 9th at 7:00 pm Eastern Time for Wine Wednesday!
