Question

What's the best Rioja wine?

Answer 1

I've tried a lot of Rojas and never had a bad one. Last week I finished a bottle of Muga. I think that was probably the fourth or fifth Muga I had in the past year.  Real nice at about $24

Answer 2

Castilla de Ygay (pronounced e-guy).  This is part of the Marques de Murrieta estates and is a legend; the 1964 is still superb and the 1925 and 1952 are both good,  Needless to say younger vintages are also very good.  It takes at least 12 years to become ready to drink and is ridiculously expensive outside Spain.  If you are in Spain look out for it and expect to pay around £25.00 per bottle in a restaurant; it's worth every penny!
