Sat. May 16 – Taste with the winemaker of Gaintza Txakoli,
Basque, Spain
Gaintza is one of the preeminent Txakoli producers in the Basque region. Winemaker Joseba Lazkano is making the journey from Spain to lead the tasting.
Pronounced “CHAH-koh-lee,” these wines are thirst-quenching, refreshing and make for excellent pairings with the bounteous local seafood that we are blessed with here in the Pacific Northwest.
a.Four generations of the Lazkano family have produced and sold Txakoli since its beginnings in 1923.
They mainly grow Hondarribi Zuri, the most common and traditional grape for Txakoli production, along with some Chardonnay and Hondarribi Beltz which is a red grape.
The tasting will be from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. at both the Queen Anne and Ravenna shops.
