The Finest Wines of Rioja and Northwest Spain A Regional Guide to the Best Producers and Their Wines

The Finest Wines of Rioja and Northwest Spain A Regional Guide to the Best Producers and Their Wines by Jesus Barquin, Luis Gutiérrez, Víctor de la Serna, published by University of California Press in 2011.

Picturesque Rioja, Spain's most prominent wine region, is a new world within a very old world. Winemaking here dates to Roman and medieval times, and today modern wineries designed by Gehry, Calatrava, and other celebrity architects flourish alongside traditional villages. Lavishly illustrated with photographs of the people and landscape and with detailed maps, this guide ranges over a diverse area from Rioja to Navarra, Bierzo, Galicia, and the Basque country as it explores winemaking from the ancient to the traditional and modern.

A lovely addition to your coffee table or bookshelf, and a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves food and cooking.
