Vino Vino, Austin, TX

Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday to experience these truly unique wines and ciders from the Basque Country and Spain. And a special thanks to the inimitable Señor André Tamers who made the trip especially for this fantastic event…

André selflessly demonstrated how to use a porron.

Peppers stuffed with olive and wrapped in marinated anchovies.

Whole figs wrapped in jamón serrano.

The whole world is talking about Txakolina.

Here in Austin, we’re drinking it!
