Rioja

Have you ever had a bad Rioja?  I haven’t.  I was thinking about this when I had a glass last night.  And, while I’ve never had a Rioja that knocks my socks off, I’ve also never had one that I didn’t thoroughly enjoy.
Now, I don’t have a whole lot of experience with Rioja.  The extent of my dealings with the wine are confined to what can be found on grocery store shelves in the states and the minimal amounts I tried in restaurants on my last trip to Spain.  My last trip to Spain came before I was into wine, so I really missed out on an opportunity to try the nest Rioja has to offer.
Next time you are looking to try a fun, generally good wine, try a Rioja.  You won’t be disappointed.
