The Perfect Halloween Pairing

Looking to celebrate Halloween? Well your celebration wouldn't be complete without something sweet for the adults. Were talking wine!! Here are some of our favorites to help celebrate the holiday.

Spellbound was recently included in our Discovery Club. Spellbound is created by Rob Mondovi Jr in California. They are casual everyday wines that as they like to say "leave you spellbound." The Zinfadel that was included in our Discovery club, has a very strong sweet berry smell. It's pretty overwhelming when you smell it but in the end it leaves you with an oaky flavor. The half moon and spooky name makes it a perfect pairing for your spooky treats.

Another Zin that must be included in every Halloween event is 7 Deadly Zins. It's a 90 point wine and is under $15 so for a party its perfect - for your most romantic dinner not so much. This wine is blended from 7 Lodi growers in California. It's a bit of a sweeter Zin with a fruitier taste.

A Halloween night wouldn't be complete for wine lovers without something from the Vampire wines. The legend goes that these grapes are owned by actual vampires in Transylvania who decided to share the blood wine. And if the story doesn't entice you enough, the black bottle and spooky label will definitely add to the ambiance of your party. I also like that these wines are available in a variety of reds and whites, plenty of options to sink you fangs into.

Ghost pines is a great wine to add to your night for another under $15 bottle. Like Vampire wines they offer their wines in all varieties. I personally didn't love the Chardonnay Ghost pines it had more of an earthier taste then I enjoy, however I really enjoyed the Cabernet and the Merlot.

What a better way to complete your Halloween night then by giving a little "Poizin" to your guest? Make sure to include this zin from Armida Winery. Not only is is a great zin but the red etched poison symbol adds to the thrill. If that wasn't enough to scare you, maybe the coffin the bottle comes in will!
