Did you catch Eric Asmiov’s piece on Txakolina in Tuesday’s New York Times?
This is the land of Txakolina, the bracing, refreshing, often fizzy white wine that is enjoyed throughout Basque country. In restaurants and pintxos bars, on terraces overlooking the ocean or in dark, rustic wood-and-stone cellars, you can’t help but notice Txakolina everywhere, especially as it is often poured in an exuberant arc from a bottle held high above the shoulder into tumblers to create a burst of bubbles in the glass.
We don’t do the theatrics (yet) but we do love the wine. And it goes fantastically well with complex sauces, spicy food, and seafood — which makes it a perfect wine at El Take It Easy. Where you will find it on the list.
