Today is the kick off for "Rosè of the day"!
Spring and summer are the perfect seasons for these sun in a bottle wines and we do quite a business with them all the way through Labor Day. Harry's has a long tradition with Rosè and the interest has exploded in the past few years and has gone mainstream. More and more producers from virtually every wine growing region in the world have joined the more traditional areas like Provence and are using different varietals and techniques to broaden the scope of the summer quaffs.

Our current selection has just surpassed the century mark and we haven't even reached May. Some have very small productions and will only be around for a few weeks, while others could go through the whole year. We have had a good time coming up with really creative pictures over the past couple of weeks and will post one each day on our blog, Facebook, Twitter, etc...

They all have a story to tell and aside from the stats like price, varietal(s), and tasting notes we have chosen interesting places in our store, at our neighbors and around Fairfield to shoot them. Click on the picture and see if you can pick the place we took it. Some will be obvious and some are designed to challenge you. Tell us what you think of the picture, the wine and where it may have been taken. This is geared to be fun and interactive and it will last through Labor Day.

The first picture has special signifcance to our store. Can anyone tell us why? Go to our page on Facebook and comment or leave a comment here. If you check in on our Facebook page don't forget to "like us" while you are there.

Have fun!
