Grapevine & Hickory Blend

 

Flavor Profile

Our Grapevine & Hickory blend is our strongest, smokiest blend.  It blends the sweet taste of premium California grapevines with the bold, smoky richness of hickory. These two ingredients balance each other beautifully, creating the robust, smoky hickory flavor you love, without the bitterness that often comes with hickory. 

Select this Wine'd Up in Smoke blend if:

  • your main goal is to achieve those classic, beloved barbecue flavors.
  • you enjoy a bold, robust smoky taste in everything you grill/smoke and want to add something that says "I’m bringing serious flavor to this grill!
  • You want to amplify the hickory flavor to the next level. You can do this by grilling or smoking with hickory wood AND the Grapevine & Hickory blend at the same time.

Food Pairing

This blend's bold, smoky flavor pairs perfectly with all cuts of red meat, as well as chicken, pork, and even mushrooms and cheese.

Our favorite is a nice thick ribeye steak just lightly seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic and olive oil, then grilled or smoked in our Grapevine & Hickory blend to a perfect medium rare. Amazing!

Wine Pairing

Food prepared with the Grapevine & Hickory blend will have a rich, smoky flavor that complements a wide range of wines beautifully.  You can pull any wine from your collection and have a pairing that enhances both the dish and the wine.

We’ve had great success pairing foods grilled or smoked with this blend with a variety of wines, ranging from crisp Sauvignon Blancs and sweet Moscatos to rich reds like Malbec, Merlot, and even fortified wines such as Port and Sherry.
