If you have yet to discover the depth and versatility of wines from Spain's iconic Rioja region, you have countless opportunities to do so October 18 through October 25, during the Fall Rioja Restaurant Week.
Dozens of top NYC restaurants will flaunt Rioja's food-friendliness with prix-fixe menus crafted especially for its wines ($25 or $50, including a glass of Rioja wine; click here to see what each restaurant is offering).
Many restaurants are also offering $12 bar pairings (one to two wine tastings with a small bite), a 15 percent discount towards dinner or 20 percent off bottles of Rioja--all the more reason to bring a big group.
You already know how well Rioja wines sync with traditional Spanish food, and now you can see how effortlessly they pair with all types of cuisines, including Asian fare (Kittichai and Indochine), seafood (Mermaid Inn and Flex Mussels) and new world Latin (Yerba Buena Perry and Toloache), to name a few.
From the region's flamboyant, Tempranillo-based reds to its crisp, clean whites and elegant rosés, Rioja makes a wine for every type of drinker--often at reasonable prices for the taste quality.
