WEED AND WINE REVIEW - Blue Frost Strain paired with Valcantara Grenache

Blue Frost is a lovely, hybrid strain with genetics that derive from the Blue Monster and Jack Frost Strains.  It is a 60/40 Indica Dominant blend that brings a clean breeze of strong blue fruit and long, deep and ancient forest notes to the olfactory.  It has a clean smell - like fresh, mountain air and a blue, ocean breeze that gives it incredible appeal for the senses and, simply, fills the room with a most pleasant aroma.
With all the wonderful flavors taking center stage, there is nothing lost on the appearance with this gorgeous weed.  It is soft and almost has playdough, earthy feel to it as it is moist and dense with varying blue tones, throughout.  Creamy streaks of very light  purples, blues, violet and soft green lengths of compact bud fill in these round nugs of  pungence to make, what I call, "nuggie goodness."
Flavors are definitely comprised of berry tones ranging from sweet loganberry to mountain blueberry with a kick of old OG pungency backed by a subtle hint of baked cheese - almost like cheese whiz. Now, where this may sound weird, I can tell you that if you love your grandma's cooking, cheesy custard and fruit desserts coming straight from the oven are supreme treat not to be missed....and there is a lovely taste of sweet dessert with every bowl you smoke.
Physically, there is a huge, comforting affect from smoking Blue Frost with just enough of a sativa influence to keep you awake and kicking.  Although sedative, the comfortable experience in smoking this weed will leave you attentive enough to enjoy a good film or even sweat it out on a bike ride - or, even better, sit and pair with a nice glass of wine.
My wine pairing choice for this lovely herb?  A little, Spanish Grenache, anyone?
Valcantara Grenache from Carinena is one of the finest easy-to-grab and inexpensive lovely little red wines under $10.  It is juicy and deep with color and the velvet and blue fruit notes pair, swimmingly, with the Blue Frost Strain.
Enjoy a bowl of this lovely herb....take a smooth hit of the creamy blue fruit....and put your nose into your wine.  The fruit notes collide with what lingers in your senses from the weed.  You can taste the forest floor.....the deep berry. The wine seems to clean your palette and enhances the flavors and experience of the smoke.  This makes for a fine finish to any work day.
Valcantara Grenache can be found, on the shelves, at Vine and Barrel Wine Shop and Wine Bar.  113 Petaluma Boulevard North, in the glorious, Petaluma, California.....home to some of the finest weed and wine in the entire world.
