This year's Vuelta a Espana was action packed throughout all three weeks of racing. Things really heated up during the last week of the race, which featured some intense racing through the Northern most mountains of Spain. Chris Froome held off all the challengers to win his second Grand Tour of the year and Alberto Contador went on one final mountain rampage to win, perhaps, his final Grand Tour stage.
In recognition of the racing action in Northern Spain, this week's Lucha Vino matchup features a Washington Tempranillo taking on a Spanish Tempranillo from Rioja. Rioja is one of the Northernmost wine regions of Spain. It primarily features Tempranillo and consistently turns out excellent wines year after year.
