  • Nifty New Gadget Saves Your Bottle of Wine

    Have you ever had to throw away a bottle of expensive wine because you couldn’t finish the entire bottle and once it was opened it became spoiled? Well this new gadget may save your next bottle of wine, especially if you just want one glass and then want to save the rest.

    Once you’re done pouring simply extract the needle from the cork and the bottle will reseal, saving it from oxidization, pretty cool!

  • Colorado Brewery Developing Cannabis-infused Beer

     

    With cannabis now being legal in Colorado it is not surprising that a brewery is developing a cannabis-infused beer.

    Aurora-based Dude’s Brew has been working on its cannabis beer for the past 2 years and it is expected to be released later this year.

    The series will feature several brews infused with high-dosages (no pun intended) of cannabidiol (CBD)—a legal and non-psychoactive extract derived from the cannabis plant.

    Seal and store in a dark, cool dry place. Taste every few days to check when its ready.

    3. Try a Smoked Tea
