This podcast is the reading of my blog post about Rioja Wine. Go to www.dlspanishlessons.com/blog/ to read & listen to the text. Short intro: Most of you have already heard about or tasted the wine of Rioja. It has a long history going back to the Middle Ages and it is very popular in Spain. This summer, I spend a week in the regions where the vineyards grow, visited several wineries, learned about how they produce the wine, enjoyed the food, the scenery, and visited marvellous monuments. Practice your Spanish skills with a text describing characteristics of the wine and the region. Learn vocabulary about wine and tourism.
