TN '06 Ametzoi Txakolina
With tonight's celebratory post-proposal dinner of cheese ravioli in
pesto, assorted stir-fried veggies and a salad of cucumber, onion and sesame seeds in Japanese rice wine vinegar, I opened: 2006 Ametzoi Getariako Txakolina color: pale with slight petillance nose: very perfumed, white flowers, minerals, tropical fruit, grapefruit palate: lightweight, petillant, acidic, citrus, stonefruit and minerals This is a white wine made from the Hondarrabi Zuri grape in the Basque region of Spain. At 11% alcohol, it is not too far from Muscadet in mouthfeel, but with a flavor profile more closely approaching a flamboyant NZ Sauvignon. Not a great match with the food, and almost too acidic for Jean's stomach, but a very fine wine and good QPR at $16. Mark Lipton -- alt.food.wine FAQ: http://winefaq.hostexcellence.com

The importer, though, in based in North Carolina, so you might just find some local distribution where you are. HTH Mark Lipton -- alt.food.wine FAQ: http://winefaq.hostexcellence.com
