Rosè of the day - Monday May 13, 2013

Henri Bourgeois, Petit Bourgeois Rosé 2012 $10.99/$118.00

Tasting notes: Made for summer drinking whether on the beach or relaxing in the garden. Light fresh, red cherry fruits, with lovely, zippy acidity. It is an oddly appealing rosé style with a sweetness on the nose and initial attack, then strawberry notes with an initial candied peel. The finish has a decent clean savoury zip that works well with light salads

Varietal: Pinot Noir

Region: Loire Valley, France

Menu: A marvelous accompaniment to grilled meats, salads or brochettes, this fresh, dry Rosé also acts splendidly as an aperitif or alongside Asian dishes, such as seafood tempuras or Vietnamese spring rolls. 

Friday's answer: Renzo has made some of these clues very difficult and on Friday there was a single guess from Mark Beyerly that was not his most confident one to date... Horseshoe Cafe - Southport? Once again he was right (this guy is good). Today we are starting with a tough one and even though they have been in business here in Fairfield for 75 years, the visual clue is a difficult one. Lets see what type of responses we get for it.
Tomorrow we plan to start working this in another section of Fairfield and see how familiar our customer base is with this town. If you "share" and/or "like" the post it helps to spread it out to other people. Thanks to all of you that have been playing along!
