Interesting wine. We had just been to an AIWF event featuring panish wines and I wasn't able to pinpoint what this grape was or what its classification was. Nevertheless it was pleasant; although a little on the sweet side.

Old Huet, B. Mascarello & Chave at Dougherty's. (Dougherty's): Much talked about in some geeky circles, it was nice to finally try it. Really nice, zippy stuff. A touch of youthful and vivacious spritziness with a bracing hit of acidity. Imagine sunning yourself all afternoon and then jumping into a cold pool. A sudden shortness of breath and then ahhhh…refreshing! Crystalline with mineral and lime flavors and a pleasing brininess some of the better Txakolinas show. A-/B+.

Very dry, light. Reminded me of a Vinho Verde. Would be great in hot weather.
