The perfect bite. You know the feeling. When all points on the flavor-spectrum combine, making your tastebuds sing. There are few things better! Our time in San Sebastian was punctuated by a multitude of these experiences, all given to us in the form of a pintxos – the Basque version of a tapa. Each pintxos bar offered up one-to-two bite …
Our travel bar was set quite high for San Sebastian. This city by the sea is at the heart of the foodie-universe and was the final stop on our tour of northeastern Spain.

This has been an exercise in many layers for me, forcing me to …
Ninety-four: the number of days that must pass until Z and I will be tasting our way through the Rioja wine region of Spain. I can hardly wait!
