Drink of the Week: Ameztoi Txakolina Rosé 2009

Rosé season is sneaking up, and we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with a bottle of this Basque-country beauty. Crafted with fruit from 150-year-old Hondarrubi Zuri and Hondarrubi Beltza vines and bottled with its characteristic Txakolina spritz, this refreshing rosé is full of fresh strawberry flavors balanced by stone minerality and a touch of salty sea air. Each year, this bottle flies off the shelves as soon as it’s released, so be sure to pick up a bottle (or two or three) while you can. $22.50, coolvines.com
