Rosè of the day - Thursday May 9, 2013

Lucien Albrecht Cremant Rosè NV

Tasting notes: Along with strawberry and red raspberry fruit suggestions that are enhanced by the wine's discreet hint of sweetness, there are saline, meaty, and herbal notes to add interest to both the nose and a lush palate, and the hints of salinity and bitterness in the finish make for an invigorating complement to the wine's prominent fruit.

Varietals: Pinot Noir


Region: Alsace, France

Yesterday's answer: This one was a real tough one and for awhile it looked like we were in for a tough decision... cave in and give the answer since no one seemed to be able to come up with it or hold out and maybe give another clue. That is until The Fairfield Cheese Company came up with the answer this morning as I was preparing todays post. I'm not sure if it was Chris or Laura that came up with it (My guess is Laura) but in either case the mystery has been solved. The monument was dedicated by the Daughter of the american revolution in honor of "The great Swamp Battle" fought in Southport in 1639. That is a long time ago. For more information on its background Google the battle name and it is easy enough to find the story. Today is thankfully a bit easier, lets see how people do.
