Getariako Txakolina, País Vasco, Spain
First day in San Sebastian I found this bar where they serve patrick piuze's chablis, ganevat's tout beauté and l'anglore's rosé by the glas. This is the txakoli they pour: salty, mineral and vivid! Great pintxos too by the way.

Brought this home from my fantastic trip to the Basque Country last spring. Apparently Bengoetxe means 'come home' in the Basque language... I take that as a sign.

I imagine that these vines got the shit beaten out of them. Every lick of sugar cost something. The acidity was earned. Every vintage of this is delicate and delicious - lightness wrung from rocks.

What a fun wine for an American palette. Green apple zing of acid, seaside salinity, with a pleasing viscosity.
