Halloween Wines

With Halloween right around the corner, just wanted to have some fun with some of
the wines we’ve seen and/or enjoyed out there. Think of it as trick-or-treat for
adults! Note – these are Halloween-themed, have scary names or scary labels. Scary-tasting
wines is another post for another time. And these are not cheap wines, just having some fun here …

	Return of the Living Red by Redhead Wine Studio. This thing has won awards for creativity. It’s just a plain bottle with a simple tag attached (think toe tag), but it unfolds to tell the tale (with pictures) of the living dead found at the vineyard complete with zombie anatomy diagrams. About $90 for a two-grape non-vintage wine.
	River of Skulls by Twisted Oak. 90% Mourvedre and 10% Syrah with a label that makes it a Halloween favorite. About $30.
	Poizin by Armida. C’mon – it comes in a coffin! $60 zin from Northern California. It’s the “Wine to die for”.
	Vampire Vineyards. An entire portfolio of Central Coast wines for around $20.
	Sinister Hand by Owen Roe. About $20 for a Columbia Valley red blend from an awesome winemaker.
	Evil by R Winery. About $10 for this screw-top from Australia that one of our favorite winemakers, Chris Ringland, had a hand in.
	Casillero del Diablo (cellar of the devil). A portfolio of wines from Chile’s Marcelo Papa for about $10.
	Big Red Monster. $10 for a Rutherford red blend.
	Incognito by Michael David. $15 for a Viognier out of Lodi.
