Rioja wines in all of their styles and colors are great food pairing wines, and are worth considering for your upcoming Spring meals and backyard parties.

Despite what Mother Nature may be doing outside right now, we have officially arrived at Spring. Here are four types of wine you should be drinking this Spring.

The "red blend" category of wine has expanded sharply over the last few years. By definition, these wines contain less than 75% of any one specific grape. The category currently accounts for approximately 40% of new wines introduced in the U.S. and has surpassed Cabernet Sauvignon in volume of purchases in this country.

While not as complicated as German wine labels, Spain does have its own set of wine labeling terms that are unique to that country.
