In this case, wine is more of a broad term. Over the last few years I have found there are several different ways of consuming marijuana along with alcoholic beverages. I would never smoke a harsh blunt with a complex red Bordeaux. The smoke is just too harsh to fully enjoy the nuances of the wine. However, a mellow hybrid strain in a cone with champagne can go together quite nicely on a summer afternoon. Here are my top wine/weed combinations for your next session:
- Cabernet Sauvignon with a Dry Herb Vape: Yes, there is chemistry here. I often find the concentrate-based vapes a little too “chemical” for my taste when it comes to a big, bold, nose-driven red wine. You want to fully appreciate a quality (often pricey) wine like this alongside something natural and earthy, without being too smokey and flavor-diluting. Consider a GPEN Elite. This is the only vape for ground material I use and cleaning is easy! https://www.gpen.com/collections/elite/products/g-pen-elite-for-ground-material
- Bourbon with a Blunt: Boom. The harsh nature of a Dutch paired with the huge flavor of a bourbon make for a really nice experience. Think of it as an alternative to a Cuban cigar with a cognac. Consider trying Hudson Baby Bourbon- sweet, yet a bit woodsy and delicious. http://www.tuthilltown.com/tuthilltown-spirits/hudson-baby-bourbon/
- Champagne with a Cone: Ah, probably my favorite combo here. It’s simple. Lighter than a blunt for sure, yet more nuanced in flavor than vaping concentrate. The light, crispness of a cold champagne on the patio with a nice packed cone is pure bliss.
Other combinations to consider:
- Concentrate-based vape and a vodka (or gin) club
- IPA and a bong
- Edible brownie and a Stout
