Downtown Brewery beer will be @ BaconBits! Two kinds to be tasted! Be sure to support our local brewers: http://www.downtownbrewery.com/

Well even though Friday’s Swine and Dine is sold out I wanted to give you a hint of what the wines are going to be. These were hand chosen by Stanton Webster of Nama.

Raimat Vina 27 Chardonnay 2007
Costers del Segre, Spain
A Modern unoaked chardonnay with spicy ripe apples and pears. Very refreshing and full bodied.

Rosenblum Vintners Cuvee Zinfandel
Califorinia
Medium bodied with great acidity, wonderful aromas of dark red fruit, beautiful balance of fruit and acidity make for a food friendly wine.

Bell Wine Cellars Canterbury Vineyard Syrah
Sierra Foot Hills California
Beautifully complex and full bodied with earthy, smoky, and meaty qualities.

Stay tuned for the foods these will be paired with.

This is not about food but my brother’s a bad ass. A little crazy, but this is all the extra cold winter’s been good for:

This is amazing.

BaconFest is soon. I know of some people who have already been practicing their dishes for Saturday. Unfortunately Friday is sold out…But Saturday is wide open. The judges are illustrious, the competition will be fierce.

Great winter cooking:
