“With notes of grass and minerals, our Ethereal Sauvignon Blanc is an excellent pairing for green beans.” -Barrett Family Wines.

Some foods are just MEANT to be together … bread and butter … peanut butter and jelly … mashed potatoes and gravy. Once you try green beans and bacon together, you’ll think of them as an inseparable pairing, too.

Green beans are such a great car camping food to begin with. You can pick up fresh green beans at the grocery store or farmers market on the way to the campground or cabin. And bacon? Who goes camping WITHOUT bacon? And both benefit from some added smoke, so stoking them in Kelly Craig Gourmet Smoked Wraps is a natural, simple and easy preparation.
