![]() | Angel "El Txantreano". Another guy from Pamplona. As he is quite shy and he doesn't want to send a picture to me, I can only show him fighting against Pepe and Itziar (this is not his best photo). |
Goio Lekuona, a friend from Ordizia (in the deep Basque Country). Damned, although he drinks a lot he never gets drunk (well perhaps once or twice). | New members of the kalimotxo guild during my stay in the USA in 1995:
| Chao-Chung Chang (Txao-Txung Txang in Basque), who was initiated by Alfredo in Sanfermines'95 and continued drinking kalimotxo in his following visits to the Basque Country. He also offered kalimotxo as a special drink in his '98 birthday party. You can see him and Alfredo in front of the Bilbao Guggenheim Museum right before kalimotxing once again. | Enrico Maria Orsi, who contributed with 10 litres of kalimotxo to a party in Turin (June 28, 1996) |
The Mexico City Kalimotxo Drinkers, nice people that really love drinking kalimotxo and making it famous everywhere. | Kjetil Aamann, from Oslo (Norway), is a real fan of kalimotxo and other basque drinks. He says that, unfortunately, he and another lady are the only members in the norwegian kalimotxo movement. Hey you, vikings ! don't leave those nice people alone and try the drink !!!. I hope to meet him here in San Sebastian. | Paul Stewart and his friend Patrick "Kalimotxo Kid". They enjoyed it in San Fermines, Pamplona. | Christine Poydessus and friends. They have their own kalimotxo drinkers society in San Francisco, California. |
![]() | One of the best kalimotxo websites in the Web, FBC, the Federation of Kalimotxo Drinkers (in Spanish). | Paul Holder, from Crested Butte, CO, who learned of kalimotxo in Villena, Alicante (Spain). | Caleb, from Washington DC, who has a very funny page about kalimotxo. |
José Gabriel, from La Rioja, who contributes with a cultural note about kalimotxo (in Spanish): "A los romanos les parecía vulgar el consumo de vino sin mezclar (merus), y preferían el mezclado con agua (mixtus). En los tiempos de Julio César no se habían inventado las burbujas, pero se admitía aromatizar la mezcla de agua y vino con otras sustancias. Así que este insigne personaje habría considerado vulgar al que se llena la copa con Marqués de Cáceres a palo seco, y civilizado al que la llena con un tinto de verano o un calimocho." | ![]() | Dylan Smith, from Isle of Man
