"There’s an architecture arms race afoot in the Rioja wine country, with buildings by the likes of Zaha Hadid and Santiago Calatrava now joined by one from the Basque country’s adopted son, Frank Gehry. Originally intended just as a corporate headquarters for the Marquès de Riscal, the building proved to be too special not to share — so now it’s open to the paying public, as one of the most unique winery hotels in the world." - Mark Fedeli
