Get vibrant June 12: Rediscover Rioja
FREE RIOJA TASTING AT B-21 THIS SATURDAY FROM 1PM TO 5PM! COME ONE COME ALL!
While Spain explodes with exciting new wines almost everywhere, quality is nothing new in Rioja.
You can get a fresh taste of Spain’s historic vineyards at B-21’s free tasting next Saturday, June 12.
(You did know that we have free tastings every Saturday in addition to our Very Big Deal affairs like the Grand Italian Tasting on Sunday, June 13).
The June 12 Spanish tasting promises a fun re-education for anyone whose only memories of Rioja were cheap dusty, wooden drinks of 20 years ago. Today’s Rioja is brighter and yet still rich with classic tradition. It’s a beautiful region, along the river through northeast Spain, south of Bilbao and one mountain range away from Bordeaux.
Come explore it Saturday. If you can’t make it, B-21 has a deep cellar of great Rioja labels old and new like Bodegas Muga, Pujanza, Remirez de Ganuza and Finca Allende.

How many wines are typically opened during the tastings?
On our Saturday Tastings it is typically around 10 wines, however at our Grand Tastings we have 75-100+ wines available to taste. Today we have the Rioja tasting in store which runs from 1pm – 5pm, so you can stop in at your leisure. Dhane Chesson a representative of the Rioja D.O. and a wine educator will be here to walk you through the wines (and maybe hand out some swag corkscrews and things!) Best of all we have some great Riojas to taste. Tomorrow, Sunday, June 13th we have our Annual Italian Grand Tasting where we will be showing around 100 wines from all over Italy. Both will be a great time!
