wine recommendation

I spent this past weekend in Baltimore with friends. I have more to tell you but for now I'll limit myself to just one recommendation: If you can, have a glass of the Rioja Alavesa, Ostatu (Viura, Malvasia) from 2008. I had it at Pazo -- it was delightful. I am going to buy a bottle of it in New York and drink it myself. Yes, I'm that selfish.

LOVE Riojas. Took a trip to Spain to a beautiful town called Laguardia, just for the purpose of drinking loads of Riojas, and it is one of the few weekend trips that I would be happy to repeat endlessly. Must save up and go again!

Emdotlin - I'm totally with you. I'm going to explore these white Riojas!
