Pot farmers in the Emerald Triangle are taking a page from the wine industry.

Before too long – when you sit down to enjoy your 2014 vintage Caymus Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon you’ll be able to pair your wine with a nice South Mendocino County Sour Diesel or maybe a Mendocino Covelo/Dos Rios OG Kush for a sip and smoke that hits all the high notes.

Pot farmers in one of California’s Emerald Triangle marijuana-growing counties are about to follow their brethren in the wine industry by seeking to capitalize on its reputation as a pioneer and still cutting-edge presence in American cannabis cultivation.

As with Bordeaux in France or the Napa Valley nearby the Mendocino Appellations Project wants the county’s marijuana brand protected and promoted by designating denominations of origin that reflect both the county provenance and the distinct pot-growing microclimates Mendo offers.
