Jimmy Smith, the West London Wine School founder, is a flag-flying enthusiastic ambassador for the great value-for-money wines available from the world-class region of Rioja in north Spain. This special evening will unearth a hand-picked selection of Jimmy’s recent and all-time top drops ranging from 2001 to 2018 including a Tim Atkin wine of the year 2021. Jimmy will share his personal experiences of Rioja, explaining through the history, geography, geology, climate/weather, viticulture and winemaking.

Suitable for beginners to enthusiasts to students of wine. Do NOT miss this one!

Rioja

Rioja is as age-worthy as the wines of Bordeaux and Burgundy, yet it flies under the radar compared to its more well-known peers. This means that a stellar bottle of age-worthy Rioja can be procured for far less than a similarly rated bottle of Bordeaux or Burgundy. Rioja wine takes its name, like many other wines made in the Old World, from the Rioja region where it is produced.

Rioja is made from a blend of grape varieties, with Tempranillo being the dominant grape. Garnacha is typically included in the blend to add some fruitiness; Mazuelo (also known as Cariñena) and Graciano may also be included.

Wines on Tasting:

  • Valserrano Gran Reserva Rioja Blanco 2016
  • Artesa Crianza 2017 (Jimmy Best Value Rioja 2021)
  • Artuke Paso Las Manas 2018 (Tim Atkin Wine on the Year 2021 Rioja Special Report)
  • Urbina Reserva Espeical 2001
  • Miguel Merino Vitola Reserva 2015
  • La Rioja Alta Gran Reserva 904 2007

TASTING FEE STRUCTURE: For this special two-hour tasting, an exclusive tasting kit is included in the listed price which includes a 75ml tasting sample of each wine, as well as tasting mat, tasting note paper and pen. Note: Tasting kits will be despatched to attendees within the week leading up to the tasting.

PLEASE NOTE: We are only able to deliver tasting kits to UK addresses at this time.

DON'T WANT TO RECEIVE A TASTING KIT?  We understand that not everyone will want to receive the wine samples, and would rather just register to participate in the online evening without the wines. That is absolutely fine! The fee to just register for this evening without receiving a tasting kit is £10. Just enter the promotional code: 75REGONLY when checking out to ensure you just pay the registration cost. 

Unable to commit on the evening? No problem! Anyone registered for this tasting will gain access to the video recording of the live event, so you can always revisit any of these at anytime in the future - whether its because you missed participating in the live evening or if you want to revisit the presentation at a later date.
