    Hi Rachel and Franck,
    What a great coinincedence, we are in Barcelona now at the end of an 18 day jaunt through Andalucia and Catalonia. We would love to reserve 2 seats for the Rioja dinner. We have limited cell here and internet only in the apartment where we are staying.
    Thanks,
    Rich And Karen

    Do you discount the price for guests that do not participate in the fine art of wine but still enjoy the gastronomic endugence.

      Hello, thank you for your reply. The cost for the 5-course dinner would be $52 without the wine, let us know if you’re interested; we’re filling up fast!
