Suggested Pairing: Notre Vue 2014 Rhone Blend (Syrah)
Spicy black pepper notes and flavors reminiscent of wild dark berries in the Notre Vue 2014 Rhone Blend work beautifully to highlight the smoky meatiness of the bacon with the fruity character of the wine supporting the Parmesan cheese. Such a rich, savory dish needs a wine equally as bold and powerful – the Notre Vue 2014 Rhone Blend fits the bill perfectly. Bon appetit!
