Grapevine & Apple Blend

Flavor Profile

Our Grapevine & Apple blend is subtle yet delicious. This is our lightest and sweetest blend.  In it, we combine the sweet flavor of grapevines from top California wine producers with the light, smoky flavor of apple wood from green apple trees. Together, they create a distinct light, sweet, fragrant experience that's unlike anything you've tasted before. 

Select this Wine'd Up in Smoke blend when:

• you want tremendous flavor with a subtle smoky taste
  
• you're cooking lighter flavored meats and seafood and want to ensure that the flavors are balanced, not overpowered
• you're already planning on grilling or smoking with apple wood and you want to kick that flavor into high gear!

Food Pairing

With such a light, sweet flavor profile, this blend will work with pretty much everything you want to grill or smoke--beef, chicken, pork, sausages, seafood, even cheese and mushrooms.

We often grill a bunch of Grapevine & Apple blend chicken so that we have delicious flavored chicken on hand and ready to add to all sorts of meals.  Foods prepared with Grapevine & Apple are delicious served as a main course, but also great sliced thin on a sandwich or on a cracker with a little dijon mustard and buffalo cheese. Yum! 

Wine Pairing

Because the Grapevine & Apple blend imparts a lighter flavor, foods smoked or grilled with this blend are best paired with lighter wines like whites and blushes.  Think of chardonnays, rieslings, pinots, and champagnes.

We have also paired some lighter reds with foods smoked with the Grapevine & Apple blend. However, it's best to stay away from stronger reds to ensure that the wine does not overpower the light, sweet flavor that this blend produces.
