In today's episode, we do an Old World vs New World Tempranillo episode! We’re traveling from the volcanic, high-desert soils of Idaho’s Snake River Valley to the ancient, 100-year-old vines of Rioja, Spain and explore the word 'Vidau' along the way. Grab a glass and join us for a journey through time and terroir! #HappyFriday! #ItsWineTime! #Cheersing
