The feed was projected on a large screen at the Society of Wine Educators conference, during a Spanish wine seminar. The tasting had more than 75 attendees and they tasted through a nice list of wines including a 1956, 1964 and many late 90's and early 2000's Riojas, in addition to a nice list of wines from Ribera Del Duero and Priorat. Many producers took part and this wine was amazing. I enjoyed your interview and encourage others to read it too by clicking <a href="http://insiderioja.wordpress.com" rel="nofollow">InsideRioja.wordpress.com</a> Thanks Tom – what was really great was that we had a Skype interview setup where María José López de Heredia presented the wine along with Pancho Campo, Master of Wine.

It's one of my favorites, too. If you're interested in reading an interview I did with María José López de Heredia, the current managing director of the winery, please check out my blog, which describes my impressions of the Rioja region, where I've lived since 1983.
