Good Cheap Wine Guide

According to an article on Yahoo News today, Drug Dealers buy Washington Vineyards to Hide Pot, “…their vineyards are producing tens of thousands of illegal marijuana plants — a crop that could easily surpass grapes in value this year.”

Now I’ve only reviewed a couple of good cheap wines in my wine quests from Washington vineyards so I guess I have been missing out. Neither Hogue Family Cellars or Columbia Winery offered anything in their tasting notes regarding marijuana. Let’s see, how would a vinter write those tasting notes.

Tasting Notes for Wine made with Grapes Grown with Pot:

“Complicated aromatics of cabernet; earthy, leafy fruit (blackberries, raspberries, strawberries) with a sleepy touch of oak and hemp. Surprisingly light weight palate making the tongue feel naked and longer with good fruit depth and notes of grasses yet… somehow smoky. The finish is long with cravings for Snickerdoodles, M&Ms mixed with peanuts or anything else chocolate in the house. Best enjoyed while listening to loud music, playing Halo or watching any movie with Will Ferrell. Guests will show their appreciation for this special grape variety by laughing loudly about nothing and a propensity to say “Dude, you know what?” a lot and then forgetting what they were going to tell you. They also stumble.”

Seems like a unique niche for a wine club as well. Labels maybe like “Bodacious Buds Beaujolais”, Zoned Out Zinfandel”, “Rasta Rufino”, “Stoner Cellar Syrah”, “Maryjane’s Mountain Merlot”…. shipping of course is at your own risk. So anyone up there in Yakima Valley, turn us onto any good cheap wine quests we should perform, under controlled conditions of course, in the name of culture that involve this very unique offering. Unfortunately I will not be participating in the test…but I have plenty of friends who will oblige us. I promise to get it on video. Now where did I put that Grateful Dead LP?

Cheers
