Safeway Supports LOCAL

Livermore – On Saturday, April 12, Safeway, 4495 First St in Livermore, will team local icon Jim Concannon with Dave Bart from Bart’s Blazing Barbeque for a special wine and BBQ exhibition.    The event will be held from 2:00 – 6:00 pm.

Concannon wines will be featured along with “Bart’s Blazin Barbeque” sauce in various presentations sure to attract shoppers with their aroma, visual presentation and of course, taste!

“We will be heating meatballs with a dab of sauce, or wheat thins and Brie, or just straight sauce.  As of the wine, a dab of our sauce and a taste of Zin pair very nicely,” said Bart.

According to Safeway Store Manager Richard Szwanek, the store hopes to showcase more local flavor throughout the year.

“Safeway is very excited to promote the work our neighbors and to introduce new flavors for customers to try.”

The Concannons are a founding family of California wine.  The company is celebrating 130 years of heritage and a pioneering spirit. In fact, the Concannon Cabernet Sauvignon clones 7, 8 and 11 are the most widely planted clones in California.

Bart's Blazin' Q was established in 2007 by Dave and Deny Bart of Livermore.  Initially Bart's Blazin' Q was a husband and wife BBQ competition team, but they quickly moved into BBQ catering, and then in 2012 opened a retail gourmet BBQ shop in Livermore.
