Manuel Muga

For years, the Muga family has been leading the way in making Rioja the great wine region that it is. Now, Paul Grieco sits down to taste with Manuel Muga to taste two very different Riojas. One displays the elegance and tradition of the old world and another shows the more intense flavors of the new world. It's all Tempranillo, and it's all good!

I liked the balance of Paul's knowledge expressed through his questions and Manuel's answers. Wish I could have tasted with them.
