Read. Reserve. Rioja!

If you have yet to discover the depth and versatility of wines from Spain's iconic Rioja region, you have nearly 50 reasons to do so April 26 through May 2, during the first-ever Rioja Restaurant Week.

Dozens of top NYC restaurants will flaunt Rioja's food-friendliness with prix-fixe menus crafted especially for its wines ($25 or $50, including a glass of Rioja wine; click here to see what each restaurant is offering). Many restaurants are also offering 20 percent off bottles of Rioja--all the more reason to bring a big group. To help you explore your options, we've designed a print-and-save Rioja Week dining guide and an interactive map of the participating restaurants.

You already know how well Rioja wines sync with traditional Spanish food, and now you can see how effortlessly they pair with all types of cuisines, including Asian fare (at Megu and Chinatown Brasserie), seafood (Mermaid Inn and Flex Mussels) and cutting-edge cuisine (Cru and Tailor), to name a few.

From the region's flamboyant, Tempranillo-based reds to its crisp, clean whites and elegant rosés, Rioja makes a wine for every type of drinker -- often at reasonable prices for the taste quality. Book your tables now to find a perfect match.
