...Camerata, 1834 Westheimer, will be hosting a Basque festival from Friday, January 19 through the Wednesday, January 31. The wine bar has teamed up with some of the city’s best restaurants and bars to take an in-depth look at the unique beverage culture of the Basque Country, with events including a Cider Seminar and Tasting with Shacksbury Txotx (Saturday, January 20) and a Porrón Pouring Competition and Whole Hoggin BBQ with Feges BBQ and Isastegi (Sunday, January 21). 

Uchi, 904 Westheimer, will be expanding its multi-cultural twist on Japanese cuisine with a one-night-only menu exploring the flavors of Spain's Basque Country on Monday, January 22 from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. Created in partnership with Houston's ¡Txotx! Basque Celebration, guests can enjoy a flavorful take on Basque tapas known as Pinxos: a longstanding tradition enjoyed with local ciders and wines. The six-course dinner will include three bites each from the earth, game, land and sea categories, a main course of seafood paella, wines and ciders, and a traditional Basque cake or sweet serving of quince, walnut and currants for desset. Cost is $145 per person, not including tax and gratuity. Call the Uchi events manager at 713-492-4564 to reserve a spot...
