Celebrate National Wine Day with REV
As the days grow warmer and the evenings stretch longer, we at REV are thrilled to share some perfect wine and weed pairings for National Wine Day on May 25th. This year, we’re adding a unique twist to the festivities by combining the rich flavors of fine wine with our top-quality cannabis strains.
Meet Bob, our Director of Retail, who brings a wealth of experience from the wine industry. Bob has meticulously curated a selection of wine and REV strain pairings that promise to elevate your sensory experience.
Perfect Pairings from Our Expert:
1. Chardonnay & Rev Farms Sour Lemons
Chardonnay often exhibits notes of lemon, pineapple, and green apple. The wine’s creamy mouthfeel and subtle oakiness can harmonize with the citrusy profile of the Sour Lemon strain and can provide a smooth and comforting backdrop for the pairing. The strain’s bright and zesty flavors can complement the fruity and acidic notes found in Chardonnay, creating a refreshing and palate-cleansing experience.
2. Sparkling Wine & Rev Farms Mimosa
Sparkling wine or Champagne with citrusy and fruity notes is an excellent choice to pair with the Mimosa strain, as it echoes the effervescence and celebratory nature of the cocktail-inspired strain. Options such as Brut or Extra Brut sparkling wines, which are drier and less sweet, can provide a balanced pairing that doesn’t overwhelm the palate. The crisp acidity and lively bubbles of sparkling wine can cleanse the palate between puffs of Mimosa, refreshing the senses and enhancing the overall tasting experience.
3. Zinfandel & Rev Farms Wedding Cake or Berry Burst
Zinfandel is a red wine known for its bold fruit flavors, and moderate acidity, textured tannins and hints of black plum and dark spices, making it an excellent pairing for the sweet and earthy notes of Wedding Cake. The ripe berry flavors and jammy characteristics of Zinfandel go together with the fruity and tangy profile of Wedding Cake or Berry Burst, creating a balanced and satisfying combination.
4. Sauvignon Blanc & Rev Farms Gelatti Cookies or Citronella
Sauvignon Blanc is a bright, crisp and refreshing white wine known for its vibrant mouthwatering acidity, citrusy flavors, and herbaceous aromas. Wines with tropical fruit notes, such as passion fruit, guava, lime, lemon zest and grapefruit can complement the fruity and sweet notes of Gelatti Cookies or Citronella, making either an excellent pairing.
5. Rosé & Rev Farms Gelato Sunrise
Rosé wine is a versatile option that can pair well with the sweet and fruity notes of Gelato Sunrise while providing a refreshing and balanced accompaniment. The vibrant acidity and fruity flavors of strawberry, raspberry, and citrus notes of Rosé can complement the sweetness, and creamy characteristics of Gelato Sunrise, creating a contrast that enhances both the wine and the strain. Dry or off-dry Rosé wines with a medium body and crisp acidity can provide a refreshing and palate-cleansing experience without overpowering the delicate flavors of the strain. Celebrate the spirit of summer with a chilled glass of Rosé paired with our creamy, dessert-like Gelato strain.
Discovering how the worlds of wine and cannabis can come together in perfect harmony is amazing. Cheers to delightful flavors and unforgettable experiences!
