<p>A <a href="http://www.gourmet.com/food/gourmetlive/2011/100511/beyond-pot-brownies" target="_self">new kind</a> of culinary cannabis:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Adjusted for volume, &quot;special&quot; wines can range from under a pound of  marijuana per 59-gallon barrel to over 4 pounds per barrel. The result  is a spectrum ranging from a gentle, almost absinthe-like effect to  something verging on oenological anesthetic. Henry views his wine as a  digestif, &quot;like a fernet.&quot; Recently he made a Riesling (unusual, in that  most pot-infused wines are reds), mixing about an ounce of fairly dry  (as opposed to fresh) marijuana (&quot;I wanted less of a piney-oily  texture&quot;) with the wine in a 5-gallon carboy. After about five months,  he bottled the wine, unfiltered, in 375-milliliter splits marked only  with a hand-drawn skull and crossbones on the cap.</p>
<p>He is, it goes without saying, a popular, popular man at dinner parties.</p>
