What few have discovered yet, beside Jeremy Parzen of Do Bianchi, but everyone wants to try is the bacon-explosion’s best friend, a bottle of Vinoterra Saperavi 2003 or 2005 from the Republic of Georgia – where wine making first started.

The occasion called for beer and that was the only thing on my mind during the game. (As a quick aside, I am convinced it is called the bacon explosion because you can actually hear your arteries rupturing.) In the future I like the idea of making a burger explosion. It would be the same idea, except bacon wrapped cheese burger - I have no idea if it will work, but in that case I would go with an earthy Bordeaux. The possibilities of what can be wrapped in bacon are deliciously endless! I can proudly say that I crafted my first (of many) bacon explosions for the Super Bowl yesterday.

The style was meant to drink with the smoky sausages of Bamberg, and should stand up to this frightening log of flavor. I have two in the oven right now for the Superbowl. Another vote for Rauchbier.

Couple Ice cubes in a big plastic cup. Glass or Crystal would react negatively with fine foods such as the bacon explosion. Any “tumbler” or can of Vino would do.

Jammy to battle the salt, extraction to handle the bold flavor. And with a dish like this you certainly need the antioxidants and the cholesterol lowering qualities of red wine!

But a riesling or big red would also work. A rauchbier (smoked beer) would seem to be worth a try, assuming you can find one aside from at the Brickskeller in DC.
