Excellent varietal palate, just the right amount of sharp elbow to accent the fruit; tiny bits of spritz bliss of quickly; very slightly sweet aspect is a friendly note. Tasty and excellent food wine. — 4 years ago
I don’t even know how to describe this wine. Despite being made from Nebbiolo, it’s more Bojo than Barolo. It’s light, aromatic, and has a really light spritz. It’s kind of like if Fleurie had a baby with Lambrusco. It’s a wine that makes me really happy. For a second, you could take a sip and forget about climate change, COVID, and everything else that is wrong with the world. — 5 years ago

Txomin Etxaniz – Hondarrabi Zuri – 2023
Getaria – Getariako Txakolina – Spain 🇪🇸
Overview
A classic, refreshing Txakoli from one of the region’s benchmark producers. Light, vibrant, and gently fizzy, this 2023 vintage delivers everything that makes Getaria irresistible: bracing acidity, subtle salinity, and a mouthwatering crunch that resets the palate with every sip.
Aromas & Flavors
Lemon zest, green apple, and fresh pear with hints of sea spray, herbs, and faint white flowers. The signature slight pétillance keeps everything lifted and refreshing.
Mouthfeel
Crisp, zippy, and lightly effervescent. Bright acidity drives the palate, finishing salty-mineral and ultra clean.
Food Pairings
Mediterranean seafood, anchovies, grilled octopus, shrimp tapas, fried calamari, or simple salads with citrus vinaigrette. A natural companion to anything from the coast.
Verdict
Crispy, refreshing, and delicious—an ideal palate cleanser that also shines with food. A joyful, drink-anytime Txakoli with serious charm.

Last bottle, tasting one year since last pour. Pale yellow with golden tinge, excellent clarity. Sulfur and tropical fruit aroma. Semi-dry, soft, slight spritz on finish. Floral, peach and tropical fruit (guava) flavors, bright crisp acidity, excellent with food. Aging well, solid choice. Minor skin astringency in finish, aftertaste. — 8 years ago

St. Agrestis’s Brooklyn made aperitivo with purified sparkling water and Glera shipped in from Veneto! So cool. Sweet up front but finishes more bitter than Aperol. What a neat local beverage. — 6 years ago
