I have to say, I had THE most perfect wine to pare with this Super Lemon Haze (SLH). Dr. Loosen 2014 Erdener Treppchen Spätlese Riesling. A lovely German white wine from the Mosel region. The paring with this was by PURE accident. I generally don't drink much alcohol anymore, but I had an open bottle that I stock for our good friend that comes over often for Sunday dinner. He rarely finishes the bottle. Invariably I do.
I'm sorry...I have a confession...I'm a "Cork Dork". I'm a "tape between the nose bridge of my glasses wine geek"! It probably makes me seem the traitor...*sniff* Sorry...I had to come clean. I actually don't drink wine like I used to. I can't. It doesn't agree...but when I do...it's a treat. I am instructed a glass of red is ok from time to time, but no more. White...not frequent.
Talk about lemon meringue pie juicy yumminess! The tart lemon with a touch of the bitter. My taste buds were heightened to the complementary profile of the cannabis and this wine. All my senses were tripped with the SLH!
Lets get away from alcohol pairings for this and go straight for food pairings! Obviously fish...particularly sweet and mild! Scallops, cod/scrod, lobster, shrimp, salmon, and arctic char. Dessert? Lemon meringue pie, key lime pie, lemon granite, lemon mousse with raspberry coulis. This flavor profile stuck around for a while on my lips and tongue.
What if you are a vegetarian? Sliced zucchini and summer squash with a splash of white wine, lemon juice, garlic butter, and cracked pepper. Asparagus or artichokes with lemon butter. Cauliflower with a vegan hollandaise sauce.
Whew...I can't wait to try the Tangielope again!
