Without a doubt, the best matched food and wine pairing of the past few weeks was a delicious BLT from Bar Jules paired with the 2007 Clos Roche Blanche L'arpent Pineau d'Aunis. In typical pinot d'aunis fashion, this wine showed gorgeous wild strawberries with a hint of sichuan peppercorns, terrific acidity and very fine finishing tannins. Combined with the crisp, smoky, meaty BLT sandwich it simply could not be beat. It was a terrific Friday lunch. Thanks for bringing the bottle, Mr. Gerard.

Sounds like an inspired pairing. I already have the Arpent Rouge. Now I just need some good bacon....
Yeah do it, definitely do it. Another tasty option, if you're leaning towards beer, would be this awesome smoked Marzen I drank recently from Schlenkeria. Beer geek that you are you probably know it.
Actually, I don't believe I do so I'll be on the lookout. The PdA will be the first order of business though.
