What inspires millions of people around the world, each year, to fill their glasses and toast high into the air in celebration of the new year? Bubbles, otherwise known to the ultra-super-elitist Bourgeois as Champagne or Prosecco from Italy, is the most lovely of holiday treats.
Champagne hails, originally, from Champagne, France, but its techniques in wine making go even further back some, 6000 years to former Soviet, Georgia. Prosecco, Champagne's Italian cousin, is made from and in nine provinces in Italy ranging from the Veneto to Fruili. In it, there are used, some, nine different varietals that comprise this bubbly goodness that pairs so swimmingly with the latest cannabis strain that I have recently procured.
For my Strawberry Banana Cannabis and Prosecco Review, I have paired this weed with the Sassetti Prosecco Colle Sargento Superior Brut from Valdobbiadene, Italy. Crisp with fine, dry bubbles, this prosecco has a note of, yes, green apple notes, of course, but also has a hint of fresh-picked, young bananas and dry, mountain, strawberry fruit. This is a match made in New Year's heaven.
In my Weed and Wine pairing, finding obvious and prominent mountain strawberry fruit notes and hint of banana is exactly what the doctor ordered in this flavor prescription in the strawberry/banana cannabis strain. The strawberry/banana strain is predominantly indica (70%) with (30%) sativa and has these simply delightful scents of freshly peeled, young and creamy banana(yep, i wrote it - lol) backed by a warm, red berry fruit that reminds of being a kid and finding my first favorite flavors of candy. It is a heavy-hitter that can certainly leave you couch-locked but has just enough sativa for the new year's party scene to keep you super comfortable with a big glass of Sassetti Prosecco well past the midnight hour. Sassetti Prosecco can be found at your finer boutique wine shops and is a feature on the shelves at Vine and Barrel - 113 Petaluma Blvd North in amazing, Petaluma, California.
Pair these gorgeous holiday treats with fine cheeses or desserts for new year's holiday or toast them high in the air.....double-fisting with doobie in one hand, your Prosecco in the other! It is legal, now! Do not drink or smoke and drive and enjoy yourself with each of these treats, this holiday season. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
