Red Wine: La Rioja

24m 39s

No Spanish wine is more famous than Rioja, and José starts with a quick tapa of apples in a red wine syrup. He takes us to a great Rioja winemaker before cooking his own version of the region’s classic dish of potato and chorizo sausage. Back in Spain, he shows us Rioja’s superb vegetable market and eats at a special restaurant run by a mother and son who cook their own recipes.
