Wine of the Week: Xarmant Txakolina

Xarmant Txakolina is a white wine from the Basque Region of Northeast Spain.  I found, ordered and drank this wine at a local Ann Arbor Tapas restaurant called Aventura. I had never heard of any of the grapes listed on the menu but knew wines from the Basque country are always great food wines, especially when having tapas!

I also found a very interesting article in the NY Times.  It is a great read on a part of the world becoming higher on my list of places to visit.  Actually the Basque region is a must visit for and food and wine lover!


Enjoy and Cheers my friends!   More later…
