Well look who’s ready for a Halloween at home! 🎃🧛🏻‍♀️🍷

With tricks and treats around the corner, this year, you want to stay extra safe. So wash your hands often, wear your mask, and don’t go near the woodshed that belongs to the creepy guy who lives at the end of the dark road…
Like downing one too many tequila shots, nothing good can come of it.

My Halloween this year consists of maybe making a candy chute for trick or treaters, and being distanced from friends and neighbors. But that’s ok. It’s where we’re all at right now.
And wine pairs well with pretty much everything this year has thrown at us.

So… without further delay…my All Hallows wine picks for this unprecedented year.🙃🍷

The Walking Dead Bloody Red Blend 2017

A very bright blend of 40% Merlot, 10% Malbec, 30% Cab Sauv and 20% Petit Verdot.
Tasting of cranberry, raspberry, and shining cherry, it was very bouncy in my skull goblet.
Aged 10 months in French and American Oak casks, there’s some good body yet it still retains it’s lip-smacking vibe. That is, if you have lips, some zombies, sadly, don’t.

It pairs well with dark meat turkey, which has a fattier component (this helps cut into the bright acidity of the wine), roasted pork, creamy cheeses, and in particular bleu cheese.

It’s a pretty good wine for $14.99, and it has a cool “Living Label” app you can download to watch the dead ‘rise’ on your bottle! Spooky fun!🧟‍♂️

Gnarly Head Old Vine Zinfandel 2018

If you want a luscious, juicy red you can sink your teeth into, this is a great one.
Unleash the cork and you’ll find dark, rich notes of jammy blackberry, mocha, vanilla, and whispers of spice. This is from Lodi, which is known for its spooktacular Zins.

It pairs well with deviled eggs, sinful short ribs, and cheeses with deeper flavors like smoked gouda, and sharp cheddars.

You don’t need to bargain with the devil for this Zin, it’s a steal at $9.99.
Give it a little time in a decanter to really open up the vault of flavors. A treat indeed.

Whatever you find yourself enjoying this Halloween, please stay safe and don’t be afraid! It’s always darkest just before the dawn.💋

Cheers! 🎃🍷🧟‍♂️
