If there were ever a wine that could make you hungry when you weren't already, it would be this. Super high-toned, bone dry, and lightly spritzy, this great small production Txakoli from Spain's Basque country is an explosion of seaspray, saline minerality, and jolting flavors of lemon and lime. Perfect to quaff by the pool, while you're cooking, or to while away a warm afternoon.
