I’m just going to pretend it hasn’t been, oh, nearly a month since my last post and will dive right in with an announcement of this week’s Thursday tasting.
We’re going to be cracking open some Bodeags Riojanas wines, one of my favorite Rioja producers. We usually don’t let sales reps pour at the shop. (Sorry any sales reps reading this, but you know the drill – it gets confusing for the customers if someone who is pouring wine can’t help them with anything except the wine they’re pouring.)
But we’re making an exception for Paula because:
1.) she happens to know quite a few wines in the shop b/c she was part of an in-store tasting group I ran about a year ago, and
2.) she promised to bring a bottle of 1978 for the tasting if we let her pour.
Aparently bribery works because this Thursday, from 6pm until 7.30pm, Paula will be helping pour a fantastic selection of Bodegas Riojans:
- Vina Albina Blanco 2008
- Canchales Joven 2008
- Monte Real Reserva 2003
- Vina Albina Reserva 2003
- Vina Albna Gran Reserva 1998
- Vina Albna Gran Reserva 1978
Come by for a sip….or six.
