Food & Wine Pairings: Wine and Weed

March 18th, 2016

We just can’t get away from these wacky food and wine pairings: wine and eggs, wine in the shower, wine and Girl Scout cookies … clearly we missed an opportunity, though: probably should have done the wine and weed thing before the wine and Girl Scout cookies … [level-members]

Still, this is too fun not to post. From Eater.com, we learn that ganjier is now a thing. It’s a play on the sommelier, though I can’t say I’ve seen any establishments touting their world-class pot stewards …

More interesting is the discussion of pot-infused wine, which certainly sounds like a potentially huge market.

In the meantime, perhaps pair some Sour Diesel with Prosecco for a nice afternoon on the patio? The consensus seems to be that whites are the way to go, with many calling for something cold and crisp. Sparkling wines are an excellent choice, as well. Many options offered up in the article, so give it a read and share it with your customers and followers. And if you happen to live in a state that’s legalized marijuana, you’d probably have a very popular afternoon tasting …

That the article includes an image of Swedish fish – classic munchy fare – is just icing on the cake. [/level-members]
