We are welcoming May with a slightly effervescent bottle of Txakoli<\/a> Ros\u00e9. April was a rosy month for us. Txakoli Ros\u00e9 returned to the wine list at Select Oyster Bar<\/a>. We enjoyed it there, both before and after our vacation in Provincetown.<\/p>\n

\"CHE_0470\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On our first day in Ptown, we asked our trusted, local wine merchants at Perry's Wine & Liquors<\/a> if they had Txakoli. "It's coming in tomorrow," was the reply. We returned the next day to stock up for our own enjoyment and for any guests who happened to join us for a glass of wine and bit of cheese. (Some neighbors from Boston were in town during our stay and we may have added them to the list of fans of the Basque wines.)<\/p>\n

Perry's was carrying the Txomin Etxaniz Txakoli Rose. We paired its casual sparkle with a variety of foods from Spanish cheese to lobster and scallops, throughout our days by the sea.<\/p>\n

 \"IMG_6452\"<\/p>\n

We loved and agree with the description of this wine from PJ Wine<\/a> in NYC …<\/p>\n

\n

"Txakoli rose is like salted watermelon juice. It's like the ocean air drifting through a raspberry bush. It's like… well, it's like heaven. For summer drinking, for salty fried things, for any grilled thing from the sea with olive oil and salt, the straight Txomin Txakoli is one of our favorite drinks. In rose form, it's even better! Think of the refreshing San Sebastian elixir with cranberry tartness in place of the limes. Not sure who wouldn't like this wine, it's that good and refreshing. With just a tiny spritz of bubbles it's also an ideal aperitif, so go ahead and drink this all year long. – PJ"<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"IMG_6734\"<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

Back in Boston, we slipped into a couple of bar seats at Select Oyster to enjoy Chef Michael Serpa's selection, UlaciaTxakolina Rose<\/a>. On this visit, we matched it with shared plates of Gloucester Swordfish, Scallops Ceviche, and a side of Avocado Toast \u2013 another delicious combination.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_6740\"<\/a>   \"IMG_6737\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Perhaps it's that the sea air is so close to where the grapes for this wine are grown. Or maybe it's the crisp flavor and low alcohol (11%) that make this gem a perfect match for spring, summer, and the best of living near the Atlantic Ocean. All we know is that we've become devoted Txakoli fans. <\/p>\n

\"IMG_6169\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We've even purchased the special stoppers (traditional Spanish escanciadors<\/a>\"\") that aerate the wine as it's poured into a glass from on high. Above is Elisha behind the bar at Select doing the Basque high pour for us.<\/p>\n

\"CHE_0473\"<\/a><\/p>\n

By the way, Elisha did ask if we preferred it served in wine glasses or in the traditional tumblers<\/a> used in the Basque region for both the wines of Txakolina and the area's famous ciders. This is an easygoing, fun wine perfect for summer on the roof deck, patio, or a chair by the sea. Those places can be windy and have you clinging to your stemware. So relax, hold a Txakoli on high, pour it splashing into a tumbler, and join our Sparkling Resolution as we toast May and look forward to the warmer days of summer 2016!<\/p>\n
