Rare Rioja Dinner (Houston)
Join the chefs at Guard and Grace Houston for an exquisite five-course dinner paired with celebrated Rioja wines. This "once-in-a-lifetime" experience offers the chance to taste extremely rare library selections from the renowned Rioja producer Bodegas Manzanos. Featured vintages include the 1961, 1964, and 1981, alongside their current 2014 Gran Reserva. These three vintage wines have been meticulously preserved in the caves since their bottling until their release late last year. With only 300-500 bottles of each vintage available worldwide, this is a truly exceptional opportunity.
Cheers!
