A Chef and a Winemaker’s Basque Feast
BY ROBERT W. CAMUTO Recently, husband-wife chefs Alex Raij and Eder Montero of Manhattan’s Txikito traveled from New York City to Spain’s Navarra region with their two-year-old daughter, Maayan. Their arrival set off an explosion of luggage, toddler gear and right-to-left cheek kisses. They’d come to visit Concha Vecino, winemaker at Basque country’s Bodegas Nekeas and creator of Vega Sindoa El Chaparral. Raij admits to an obsession with this $15 Garnacha.

Does anyone know the recipe for the salad dressing that they use to put on the salad at the old Des Alpes restaraunt in San Francisco…They served it with every meal, iceberg lettuce and this cool, creamy yellow dressing…it was great. I don’t know if it was traditional or not.
Thanks
