Congrats to Erin! Erin won a £35 bottle of La Rioja Alta, Gran Reserva 904 at the last Wine Bar Social Drinks.
She answered the following questions correctly:
How many litres in a Wine Tun? (Answer: 954 Litres)
Where would you find a Bunghole? (Answer: on a barrel or cask)
Above Erin shows off her new trick she has learned:
With Rioja's the darker the 1 inch sq sticker on the back of the label, the more oak it has!
(Look closely at the picture above, bottom left hand corner)
This month's prize is one of my favorite wines!
1. It is one of the five original Rioja producers.
2. The age it for 10 years before they release it on the market.
2. This is one of the best wines to show Vintage Variation (meaning that each year a wine taste differently.) The '95 is still and will continue to be like liquid heaven and the '97 is like an over-the-hill granny... sexy and seductive in her prime but thin and frail today. (Fortunately for Granny, some people still find her attractive)
