Serendipity Sunday: Bacon Wine!

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Napa Consultants DRE00893924

This morning on the Q & A Section, Peter Mohylsky noted that today was National Bacon Day.  This afternoon, we popped in to see Jane, owner of Carpinteria Wine to look at the selection of Champagne and other bubblies in the store.

 

And lo, and behold, Bacon wine was sitting at the entrance.  Here are the wine makers notes: "BACON is bursting with luscious berry flavors and a mouth-watering finish. " This wine is a blend: 35% Syrah, 25% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre, 10% Merlot, 10% Petite Syrah!

 

Cheers!

That's an eye catching name on the label. . .But, what. . .No bacon?

Thanks Ron and Alexandra Seigel for the Bacon Day update. You say tomato and I say "tomoto". You say potato and I say "Patato". You say bacon and I say "Bacone"

Good morning Ron and Alexandria.  I wonder if Kevin Bacon has anything to do with this label.

Clearly, Alexandra, this was meant to be on National Bacon Day. But I was looking for bacon ingredient in the wine, whch I did not see.

Good morning Alexandra and Ron, I think my curiosity would have caused an impulse purchase on this wine. I enjoy blends and I like their logo.

So, it doesn't taste like bacon, does it?  I wouldn't want bacon flavored wine, but it definitely sounds like a nice blend.  Happy New Year!

Not sure if I'd buy it based on the label, or the blend. It is attention getting though...I did google and found this description in their marketing. Ha,ha. 

There are two types of people in this world:  those who love BACON and those who are wrong. Today, Guarachi Wine Partners, a well-established marketer and innovator of fine wine for 33 years, announced the launch of BACON, a Rhône style red blend from the Central Coast of California. The dark, red fruits with hints of peppery spice, wrap around bold, rich and juicy flavors that embody a wine created specifically to compliment any meal – just like America’s most craved food:  BACON.

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD our take on blends is that either you follow a time proven formula like Rhône wines have, or one is making a blend to sell to those who have a limited knowledge and a limited palate of wine.  These are usually fruit forward, reminiscent in my opinion of cough syrup...There is money in this, and so be it.  A

Yes, they did say it was a wine to please the masses. ;)

Interesting, Now yesterday I was drinking Bloody Marys but I also have a peper bacon stripe with them also to give it a new taste.  I may look for Bacon wine for tonight!

Endre Barath, Jr. Like you said blends are tricky, and Jane, the owner, was not there for her review.  Given, that it is a wine blend to please the masses, I rest my case...although once in a while there is a surprise...just not feeling it.  A

Gabe Sanders no Kevin Bacon involved.  It is part of a large wine conglomerate that makes people pleaser wines.  Big market there. A

Will Hamm if you back in our wine country, Sides Restaurant makes a Bloody Mary with a thick slab of bacon instead of celery.  People love it...we are not bloody mary fans...just wine and Champagne.  A
