Exploring the World of Wine & Tasting

Celebrate Halloween with Good Old Fashion Spirits

Halloween is, by far, my favorite holiday of the year. The leaves are turning (yes, even in California), the air becomes crisp, and night falls earlier. Halloween gives us an excuse, just for one day, to be anyone or anything we want to be (plus we get to consume a ton of candy doing it)! Here is a list of some ghoulishly good wine that no Halloween celebration should be without!

For the disturbed immortal soul, quench your blood-thirsty craving with Vampire Merlot (rumored to have actually been produced in Transylvania- now made in Paso Robles, CA- can be found at CostPlus World Market).

Looking for a sinfully good time? Sip on Casillero del Diablo (or "Devil's Cellar") Cabernet Sauvignon from the Concha y Toro Winery in Chile. The interactive website is frightfully fantastic and explains the winery's haunting past.

Cast a spell with Eye of the Toad Rosé. "Eye of the newt" has disappeared thanks to this 9th vintage by Toad Hollow Vineyards.
