On Wednesday, October 9, 7:00 p.m., Stage Left, 5 Livingston Avenue, New Brunswick, New Jersey, will host a very special wine dinner featuring the extraordinary vintages of Bodegas Riojanas of the Rioja region of Spain.
The Artacho family of Bodegas Riojanas has been making some of the most respected wines in the Rioja region since the 18th century. Their wines are deeply rooted in the traditions of Rioja, are rich, elegant & complex, and age beautifully. But they also offer more forward fruit and accessibility than some of the strictly traditionalist producers.
The guest of honor for this special evening will be Santiago Frías, Director General of Bodegas Riojanas, who will share his own insights on a selection of his extraordinary wines.
