Rioja dinner at Tinto
Get to know your tempranillos and viuras.
Rioja dinner at Tinto
Here at Meal Ticket we are always looking to expand our horizons, especially when those horizons have to do with eating and drinking. And with education in mind we're pleased to share the news of a new series of wine pairing dinners kicking of this Thursday at Tinto (114 S. 20th St.)
The first dinner is going to be focusing on Spain's most well known wine region, Rioja, and Tinto beverage director Paul Rodriguez will be guiding diners through the evening's tempranillos and viuras.
Seats for the dinner are running for $100 which is a pretty sweet deal for this Basque multi-courser paired with no less than six vintage Riojas. Seating is limited so head over here to make your reservations.
