Is it Time to Give Seltzer a Try?

No, not that White Claw stuff. Yuck. Cannabis-infused seltzer is on the market, but not in the market.

The Beginnings of the New Tourism

 A former felon (for marijuana cultivation) now runs a cannabis farm with a license allowing tourists to visit and spend the night. Huckleberry Hill is in the redwoods of northern California's famous Emerald Triangle. A little bit of weed country tourism that is about a three hour drive north of the Napa/Sonoma wine country.

When Will We See the Budweiser of Cannabis?

  Yeah, this is a wine blog and sometimes a beer or vacation blog. Cannabis is as much a part of Sonoma County as wine and craft beer. Legalized marijuana is here to stay so we might as well get with the program. It'll eventually be nationwide.

Sonoma County Cannabis Tourism

You can get a day long tour out of San Francisco to explore Sonoma County's wine, weed, and beer (whew, what a day that would be). You can have cannabis delivered to your room (maybe a couple brownies for after dinner). How about a cannabis and food dinner pairing (bet you hadn't thought of that one). Or a grow tour (like a vineyard tour).

Cannabis tourism isn't huge in Sonoma County, but considering it was nowhere a couple years ago it seems to be turning into a thing probably for folks who live where it's still illegal.

Weed in Napa Valley

Napa Valley is world famous for its world-class Cabernet Sauvignon. They actually grow other grapes, too! But not much else. This is a potential problem.

When Marketing of Wine and Cannabis Collide

Sorry, I'm a little too buzzed to be speaking
to you all right now

  Francis Ford Coppola, owner of the Coppola Winery here in Sonoma County, recently got into the marijuana business. Now that it's lawful to grow and sell in California there are lots of entrepreneurs trying to figure out how to make money legally.

  As any self-respecting vintner-type would he has teamed up with a grower to do a "limited edition" of special strains calling it the Grower Series. And he'll charge a lot for it since his name is on the packaging. Sorry, no nickel bags. One report called it the luxury marijuana business.

  For better or worse it got me to thinking now that California is in the cannabis biz maybe they should copy some of the verbiage from the wine biz just like ol' Francis did.
