Although Star Trek has already ventured into the booze business with Vulcan Ale, they’ve recently classed it up a bit with a line of wines. Produced by Vinasa Winery in Sonoma — trekkies and other random geeks can enjoy a Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and Sangiovese.
The retro labels were created by artist Juan Ortiz and based on three original episodes: “The City on the Edge of Forever,” “Mirror, Mirror,” and “The Trouble With Tribbles.”

Now that one person, J.J. Abrams, is responsible for the creative direction of both Star Wars and Star Trek, geeks worldwide are having an even harder time choosing sides. These cookies won’t help.
Brought to us by Sarah Trefney, Star Wars/Star Trek Cookies combines a few notable characters from the two franchises — such as Spock as Obi-Wan, Chekov as Luke, and Darth as a Klingon.
Hopefully the cookies taste as good as Episode VII sounds. Because batches I, II, and III tasted like crap.
After a long day of mind-melding and getting beamed, it’s good to know that you can end the day with a Vulcan Ale. The Star Trek-inspired beer will be “a high-quality handcrafted Irish Red Ale that promises to explore a new universe of taste.”
Unfortunately, Vulcan Ale will only available in Canada beginning May 1st. So, live long and prosper, eh?

Live long and prosper through the morning with Star Trek Pancakes. Brought to us by pancake zen-master Nathan Shields of Saipancakes, we’re treated to batter-renderings of the Star Trek cast, including the Spockcake, Kirkcake, and Sulucake — oh, my.
Now, pass the syrup and let’s get this geek breakfast going!
Boldly go where no ordinary silver pizza cutter has gone before. The limited-edition Golden Star Trek Pizza Cutter will slice your pizza as classy as possible. However, celebrating your geekdom on pizza night will not come cheap — as the gold-plated Enterprise is $99.99. Comes in a fancy case though.
