About this event
Five Riojas enter, one Rioja leaves, join the tasting showdown and cast your vote for the ultimate champion. Forget wine snobbery, this is wine warfare, five Riojas go head-to-head in a tasting battle royale, and it's down to you and your fellow guests to decide who takes the crown; expect strong opinions, questionable alliances, and at least one heated debate about whether Crianza can ever really beat a Reserva. What to expect: 🗳️ You vote, you decide, democracy in a wine glass, and yes, your vote counts. 🤝 Table alliances will form and fall apart faster than you'd expect. 🏆 One wine crowned champion, four left nursing their (bottled) egos. 🧠 A crash course in Rioja styles, Crianza, Reserva, without the textbook talk. 🚫 No cheating, no mercy.
