Hidden in the high plains of Castilla y León in Northern Spain, the regions of Ribera del Duero and Rueda (http://www.riberaruedawine.com) possess an unusual beauty. The landscape looks alternately like the beach, the desert or the moon. The climate is almost inhospitable to human life. But in these harsh conditions indigenous grapes such as Tempranillo and Verdejo thrive producing bold red wines of incredible depth and structure and herbaceous, aromatic whites, respectively. 

The winemakers of D.O. Ribera del Duero and D.O. Rueda were locavore, artisanal, and sustainable long before those terms even existed. Their wines reflect an ancient tradition and a singular sense of place, yet have a timeless appeal that knows no borders. 

On April 8 we'll have the privilege of tasting 8 wines from the regions, each introduced by the wine's producer. It will a unique opportunity to get to know these fantastic wine regions.
