We have lots of really grassy and aromatic 'cat's pee on a gooseberry bush' sauvignon blancs. I drink those at room temp with crispy streaky bacon as a snack. Better than fatty crisps. Add kalamata olives to impress the neighbours. OK, the neighbours are beyond impressing really because I hide the gin bottles in their recycling. I’m in New Zealand.

The lightness will accentuate the flavors of the bacon or any smoked hams. While you're at it, take a trip to your local bookstore or library and check out James Villas' Bacon Cookbook for some great recipes ranging from appetizers, main courses, soups, breads and even desserts with bacon as an ingredient.

However for wine, a good merlot really is our fav. We always drink a Honey Brown Ale with any bacon recipe. However for wine, a good merlot really is our fav.

I can't stand wine. I've brewed at home for nearly 14 years, and am about to open a microbrewery in Louisville KY. It probably won't make it on tap, but I'm trying to work up a recipe for a bacon beer. This one will probably end up at my apartment, instead of the bar, but I'm ok with that. I'm thinking a stout or a rauchbier (smoked beer). But what beers are best for bacon? I can’t stand wine.

So I signed onto Twitter, and went straight to the prime expert on such a topic: Gary Vaynerchuk, the host of the astoundingly popular and notorious Wine Library TV show (or, as he puts it, "The Thunder Show, aka the Internet's Most Passionate Wine Program!"). Me: "In your opinion, what wine goes best with bacon? Want to expand horizons for our next "Bacon & Beer Happy Hour" in Baltimore. :)" Not even a minute later, I get a one-word private message from Gary in return: "grenache!" So there you go!

I've had this dish, but not with this wine: http://wine.signonsandiego.com/pages/story.php?StoryID=93 and frankly, not sure how i'd feel about it. I will ponder this more at my baconfest 2 in February (for my birthday, of course). Just a thought. I’ve had this dish, but not with this wine:

I wanted to have a sparking shiraz with this morning's bacon...gonna wait until Thanksgiving for that! Tonight I haven't decided yet for which wine to have with our bacon wrapped scallops---a sparkling red would be great but then we'd be committed to drinking the whole bottle. I am leaning toward a GSM. The bottle of a lightly oaked sauv blanc won't work hold up now that we added the bacon to the picture!
