Let’s Talk Wine and Bacon!
It’s cliché to say everything’s better with bacon, but it’s true. Bacon lands a direct hit on the brain’s comfort center. Bacon can refer to cured pork from the belly, back or side.
While bacon dominant dishes like BLT’s are fantastic, treat it more as a supporting actor than the star. A good rule of thumb is to pair the entire dish, not just the bacon it employs.
When bacon is in salads or pastas, white wine is the way to go. Whites like an off dry Riesling or Pinot Blanc are great options.
For more bacon forward situations, you want the wine to cut smoke and richness, but also want to compliment the food. The perfect wine for any bacon forward dish is dark roses and light reds.
My Bacon, Fig and Brie Crostini tastes amazing with our Rose made with Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.
