“Wine and Swine, together Divine” – Dante’s Inferno (canto xix)

Hello Bacon-nation,

By now you’ve heard about The Wobble Stopper and the Blind Judge.

We’re pleased to announce that Candid Wines will be joining the Illinois Pork Producers Association and Baconfest Chicago as Exclusive Wine Sponsors of Baconfest Chicago 2011.

Damien Casten and the Candid Wines gang will be on hand pouring Santome Sparkling Wines -  The Official Bubbles of BaconFest including Santome ”Santhomas” Sparkling Rose and Santome Prosecco Extra Dry.  Need a glass of red or white? Pircas Negras Torrontes and Malbec from Argentina will be flowing as well.

We could not ask for better ministers to this happy marriage of Bacon and Wine than Damien and the Candid crew.

Argentina’s answer to Viognier, this aromatic Torrontés is soon to be your favorite summer white. Brimming with orange blossom, melon, and tropical fruit fragrances, if offers a beautiful balance of fruit and acid.  And pairs well with outdoor summer fare and sweet desserts.

Pircas Negras Malbec

The most famous grape in Argentina is beautifully blended showing black cherry fruit, signature Malbec earthiness and a long, smooth finish. With a hint of white pepper, this Malbec is bacon-friendly and versatile.

    I remember fondly the BLTs Seth and I enjoyed a few years ago in Bucktown as he laid out his plans for city wide domination of all things Bacon, all while benefiting a charity, of course!

    Happy to be part of the growth and we can not wait to make bacon loving wine lovers happy at the fest.
