Txakoli has come a long way in recent years. Do you know Oxer Bastegieta (Oxer Wines)?

Hi Shawn. It has hasn't? Finding some good variety within the wines these days. I hadn't heard of Oxer but just checked their website and they are now on my watchlist! Looks like a really interesting mix of Txakoli and Rioja Alavesa. I'll have to pick up a few bottles. Thanks for the tip!

I was introduced to Oxer wines a couple of years ago at Cork (Bilbao). All of his txakolis are fabulous but Terlegiz is really something special.

Thanks for the correct way to pronounce the grape!Have used Decantalo to order your suggested wine,the Casa Borba Godello and Les Cousins Priorat- all at 10% off in sale.

I am enjoying becoming an expert in Spanish wines!

Hi Paul!

(I posted this as a separate comment rather than a reply to yours, so you may not have seen it - so I'm reposting here :)

Those are two very good choices. Casar de Burbia is one of my favourite wineries in Spain - for many reasons. And their Godellos are excellent. Les Cousins is a good entry point into Priorat. Be interested to hear your thoughts on both. Cheers!
