With a decent amount of red fruit. Perhaps something from Oregon or Washington. Some pinots might work. I can’t believe no one has mentioned bubbly! (Or if they did, I missed it.) I’m sure a lot of sparkling wines would go well with this, although I probably wouldn’t break out the expensive champagne. The fun pairing to try here would be sparkling shiraz.

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.

If anyone is in San Francisco at any point, I’ll meet you anywhere and pour you a glass of this exquisite wine. It is a match made in heaven – wine heaven – Rep. of Georgia.

Keep up the great work Dr. Vino!

Chris

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!

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.

Thunderbird

“some drink to remember, some drink to forget” – The Eagles Hotel California

or with lots of scrubbing bubbles to help police stubborn bits from the the colon – Bud, Miller or Pabst

or with a balloon angioplasty

Viva la gourmandise!

Couple Ice cubes in a big plastic cup. Glass or Crystal would react negatively with fine foods such as the bacon explosion.
