Miguel Angel de Gregoria of Finca Allende said, “Rioja is a Burgundy style wine with a Bordeaux history.” You may drink and enjoy Rioja, but do you really know Rioja? La Rioja is more than just a prominent Spanish wine region, it also played a pivotal role in France’s wine history. Learn more about the region that produces the wine you love in my latest contribution to The Daily Meal.

La Rioja’s Wine Revolution
As I get closer to taking the WSET Level 3 exam on February 26 I am dedicating more time to studying than writing. Next week I will have a couple of fun Valentine’s Day articles, one featuring a world of bubbles; the other focused on French wines for #Winophiles. The following week I will publish one article. Thank you for your patience and loyalty. The first week of March I will be back to my regular publishing schedule with lots of wonderful wines to share with you.
