Dinner last night was at Asador el Tahiti in Logroño. It’s a traditional Riojan restuarant and we ate and drank well. Particularly interesting was Morcilla, which is pig’s blood and rice, and, in this case a thin pastry case. It was delicious.
Wine of the night was the Remelluri Rioja Reserva 2005. For just 18 Euros on the list, this was brilliantly dense and deliciously savoury, with a Bordeaux-like character, but I mean this in a good way.

Morcilla, Rioja’s answer to haggis ? Any of the wines prove a particularly good match ?
I think Rioja tends to go quite well with Morcilla – in both traditional and modern guises
You’ve gotta love Spanish restaurant markups: a top end Rioja producer’s Reserva on the list at 2 euros more than retail price.
Good to see you getting into morcilla, food of the gods…
