Join GuildSomm and Master Sommelier Jonathan Eichholz on Wednesday, December 3, at 10 am PST (1 pm EST) for a 90-minute virtual seminar on Rioja, as the region marks its 100th anniversary as an appellation. Informed by Jonathan’s recent trip to Rioja, this webinar will explore the seismic shift in the region’s style and how producers are expressing their unique terroirs. We will discuss Rioja’s exciting varieties, its newfound village specificity, and the styles most likely to dominate the region over the next 100 years.

Tasting kits are limited! GuildSomm members can purchase the seminar with wines for $50 (members received an email with a promo code from GuildSomm). Memberships are available starting at $15/month at GuildSomm.com. You can also join the webinar only, without wine, for just $5 by purchasing the seminar directly here.
