Tempranillo and much more

Outer Space Wines will dive into the heart of Rioja with a lineup presented by WineWise Imports on Friday, Sept. 19, from 5 to 8 p.m., with a brief presentation at 6 p.m. Rioja is synonymous with Tempranillo, but there’s more that goes into its identity, from graceful whites to complex blends.  They’ll explore a range of reds and whites across different ages, highlighted by the legendary López de Heredia Viña Tondonia Reserva 2012, a benchmark Rioja that shows why this region’s wines remain among the most compelling in the world.
