This is such an awesome Txakoli. It's got the grassy/bell-peppery affect of Sauvignon or even Fié Gris to go with the usual spritz and cascade of mineral scents and textures. What fruit there is comes across faintly. The whole experience is refreshing and cleansing, and so versatile with food -- tonight's bottle went very well with sushi.

Recommended by the Spanish Table when I asked for a Basque white with some spritz. Spot on. This is like drinking a minerally, lemon lime soda, extra dry. Some people complain that at around $15-$25 these are too expensive. Maybe. They aren't especially complex, but a spritzy Txakolina is unlike any other wine and they drink great with a wide varieties of food. When I'm in the mood for one, nothing else will do.
