Hope you are able to attend…

La Rioja – Wine Tasting @ Astor Center in NYC

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

I attended the La Rioja Wine Tasting at the Astor Center yesterday. I had some nice wines, 1 standout wine (which I will get to) some nondescript wines and one or two corked wines. But what is more important to me is HOW this tasting was conducted.
