Rosé of the day - Thursday May 30, 2013

Gobelsburger Cistercien Niederösterreich Rosé $15.99

Tasting notes: This type of rosé is somewhat similar to a white wine because no acid reduction is used to emphasise the fine fruity character with a streamlined elegance. Its fragrance and fruit nuances of wild cherry and fresh berries make this Rosé an optimal universal food companion.

Varietal: Zweigelt

Region: Osterreich, Austria

Wednesday's answer: Peggy Rawley Walsh was the first to jump in and put up the correct answer yesterday "Las Vetas". Her answer was quickly corroborated by Jonathon T. Boos who added the "for sure" moniker to his answer. Some time later Mark "I'm sleeping at the wheel" Beyerly finally chimed in with his stamp of approval and we were able to rest easy at the store, knowing that he was safe out there in the world. 

It is terrific that so many of you have gotten involved and we are also very impressed at how well all of you know this town. There are any number of great towns out there but the point of this whole thing remains the idea that this is our town! 

We are talking everyday about new ideas for this promotion that we are doing and the ideas just keep coming. "The Parade Route" is just one of the ideas, each week we have done a church, we have lots of places to eat, shop, and socialize in this town. There are more holidays coming so we have put together some other theme week ideas. 

The nice thing is that this town has figured out how to have big highways and the little guy. Fairfield residents support the small businesses in Fairfield and that makes for tremendous diversity. This town has found a balance and each day that we do this we are able to see that while so much of the country is run over by the "Mega Stores" we have carved out a niche that includes all of the varied shops and businesses. Kudos to all of our residents for shopping local and keeping money right here in our town.

Fairfielders are leading a trend in our country that looks back at the "farm to table" mentality and we are making our local businesses stronger than many others in towns around us. It gives us a town that has the look and feel of a classic "Hometown" and still has things like hotels and a University. There will be lots more to see in the coming weeks so stay tuned. 
Please take a minute and share with your friends and help us to get more people involved and then hold your heads high and be proud that you are part of this special place. We are a pretty fortunate group and you all play a role.

Thanks!
