Rioja and it´s vinos

February might not be the most prime time for visiting the vineyards, but what a nice weekend getaway to brighten up these winter days. We spent Saturday and Sunday celebrating the 70th birthday of Ricardo´s mom with a suprise trip to Rioja in the northern part of Spain. We visited both Ysios and Marques de Riscal vineyards. Not only are they known for their wonderful Red (tinto) wine, but the architecture is out of this world- Marques de Riscal is one of Frank Gehry´s latest projects, where we also enjoyed an amazing birthday lunch with the family. Wine, Food, Scenery and Family- very nice weekend indeed.
