FEATURED WINERY RIAZA

Riaza Wines is a small family-owned winery dedicated to creating high-quality, hand-crafted Spanish wines from distinctive vineyards in Lodi, Clarksburg and the Sierra Foothills. Rick (the winemaker) and Erin Taylor are producing amazing wines from Spanish varietals.

Their wines have clever names, such as Irreverent, Faultline, and Instigator.

My favorites are the 2017 Riaza Bubbly ($29) made from Verdejo, a Spanish white wine grape and 2017 Irreverent Garnacha Rosé (Clements Hills)

Rick and Erin also have cool events, the Friday Night Movies, Chef Series, as well as Raid the Library Tasting. www.riazawines.com
