Rosé of the day - Tuesday May 28, 2013

 Peterson Donna Bella Rosé 2012

Tasting notes: The brilliant dark pink color guides you into enticing aromas and flavors of strawberry, light raspberry, cherry and hints of floral and spice. The creamy texture and lively acidity carry the refreshing fruit flavors across the palate and into the bright finish.

Varietals: 50% Grenache, 25% Carigane, 25% Petite Sirah

Region: Redwood Valley, Mendocino County, California

Menu: Try pairing it with a platter of sashimi, or a wilted kale salad with bacon, pecans and a pungent blue cheese dressing

Friday's answer: Plenty to go through today... First, the answer to Friday's post was indeed the reviewing stand at Town hall and was answered correctly by Ellen Grecco Gilmore, Tracey McMillan Rosato, Mark Beyerly, and Tom Bauder. Aside from the people that posted an answer there were a handful that "liked" the photo and I suspect that most of them knew the answer.
The photo was the 5th in the series were we were looking for the theme of the week. The journey had started at The Pine Creek Deli, headed down the Post road until we reached the Library where we took a right on Old Post Road and followed it to the end of the block. We then took a left and passed the YMCA and continued past the Town hall and finally finished up at the reviewing stand. All of the clues took some time to put together and most if not all of you figured it out with the last clue.
By the time Friday came quizzical looking faces had been replaced with smiles on the faces of the regular players in our game and the box began to get more and more entries. Saturday we posted all of the weeks pictures at the wine tasting and even more people were able to join in and finally on Sunday we wrapped it up.
The answer of course is "The Parade Route" and we need a winner. Renzo just pulled a name from the box and our winner is.... Peter Ferrara!

Congratulations Peter! We'll be reaching out to you today to get your prize to you.

Hopefully everyone had a good time with this one and will look forward to another in the weeks ahead.

Finally, Yesterday we put up a picture which was taken at the war memorial. I didn't think it was appropriate to play our game so we simply posted it with our respect to the men and women in uniform. For those interested... the wine was from Charles Smith Wines out of Washinton state and is made from Syrah (81%) Mourvedre (16%), Cinsault (2%) and Grenache (1%).
