Joan of Arc® French Cheeses To Give Away Daily Restaurant.com Gift Cards Through January/February Promotion

RICHFIELD, Wis., Dec. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- DCI Cheese Company ("DCI") is pleased to announce its latest promotion:  "It's Not You, It's Brie," an enter-to-win contest sponsored by Joan of Arc, the company's line of French cheeses. Throughout January and February, daily prize winners will each receive a $50 Restaurant.com gift card that can be used to take a loved one out to dinner.

Shelf talkers with tear pads featuring a coupon for Joan of Arc cheeses can be found in participating retailers throughout the January 1–February 28 contest. Additionally, consumers with smart phones can connect directly to www.JoanOfArcBrie.com via the promotional display's QR code to access the online entry form and product coupon and to view recipes and wine pairings.

Joan of Arc is the oldest trademarked brand of French brie available in the United States and features a rich, buttery, earthy flavor that works well in hors d'oeuvres, appetizers and as a dessert. Joan of Arc also offers other fine French favorites such as camembert, plain and flavored chevre varieties, goat brie and Roquefort.

"The $50 Restaurant.com gift cards will provide our daily winners with valuable savings to treat their loved ones to a nice dinner at more than 18,000 restaurants nationwide," says Katie Jury, DCI's Marketing Manager. "But you don't necessarily have to go to a five-star restaurant to show your appreciation to that 'special someone,'" she continues. "You can also set up a simple spread with Joan of Arc brie, strawberries and champagne for a special at-home date."

Details about the Joan of Arc "It's Not You, It's Brie" promotion, including full contest rules, will be available on the contest website (www.JoanOfArcBrie.com) throughout the promotion.
