HERE’S THE BIG REVEAL!
GLASS 1
TSOLIKOURI - TELIANI VALLEY
Georgia
The lighter, more delicate glass was the Tsolikouri. Fresh fruit, crisp acidity, and a clean mineral finish were the biggest clues. If this one felt bright but comparatively understated next to the other two, you were on the right track.
VERNACCIA DI SAN GIMIGNANO -CESANI
GLASS 2
Tuscany, Italy
The broader, more savory glass was the Vernaccia. Mineral character and orchard fruit help point the way, but the real clue is texture and finish. If this one lingered a little longer and felt slightly more layered, that was your tell.
HONDARRABI ZURI/PETIT COURBU- MASUA
GLASS 3
Arabako Txakolina, Basque Country, Spain
The liveliest glass in the flight was the Txakolina. Citrus, green apple, brisk acidity, a saline edge, and that faint spritz all help give it away. If this was the glass that immediately made your mouth water, you found the Basque bottle.
