Your Interpretation of "Local"

.
It seems to be that even though there are suggestion on what local should be (with books like 'The 100-Mile Diet setting the standard), everyone's interpretation of what "local" really is can be different.

Here's an interesting article from 'Wine & Spirit' that gives some information on what "local" means to those in the hospitality industry.

I have to keep an eye on these trends... not just for my blog, but as a new employee of Sanson Estate Winery it is important for me to know the food and the wine side of things now. Now that I am done my training you can come visit me on Tuesdays at the winery from 11-5 and I can tell you what local meat and produce is in that week and help you pick out a bottle of wine to go with it.

I am very happy to work in an industry that allows me to combine my hobby with my job. Yay, me! For my blog that means that I will try to post weekly updates of what the winery has in stock as we have yet to get them blogging.
