Fuente Elvira Vergejo last night - I was never a big Elvira fan (I grew up with Dr. Shock hosting the Saturday horror flicks), but with Halloween fast approaching I couldn't resist picking this one up a few weeks ago. Decent enough white wine; It wasn't over the top with the citrus and had some mineral quality that would probably go well with shellfish.

OK so I haven't really been able to find Halloween themed wines in my area. We only have 1 or 2 alcohol distributors in our state & they don't carry any of those brands. So I bought some Fish Eye & spray painted the caps & labels, then covered them with labels I bought.

It's not easy having a good time! Even smiling makes my face ache!

the labels are probably the best way to go, especially for parties. the "true" Halloween wines such as Vampire are really bad, which is why I stretch to find any name that can be remotely construed as Halloween-ish. My wine tonight was supposed to be the best of the lot, and, while very tasty, was sadly disappointing. 2008 Ghost Block Cabernet for our neighbor's birthday dinner. I decanted it for 40 minutes prior to drinking and it took until the last 1/4 glass to start to open up. As I said, it was certainly a tasty wine anyway, but not worth $60. Should anyone have this wine, I strongly urge decanting for a full hour (something I never do).

This was mentioned a couple of pages ago by Trinity1. A great name and label make it an excellent choice for Halloween, and i doubt anyone would be disappointed by the taste.

Tonight's wine, along with veal shanks (left over from our neighbor's birthday dinner when we found out last hour she refuses to eat veal). Like the prior Ghost Pines, it is a great name for Halloween and a very good cabernet. Happy Halloween everyone and see you all next year!

bought whatever wines I knew my guests liked and made my own labels:
I had Red Diamond Merlot "O Neg"
Cupcake Sauvignon Blanc "Corpse Juice"
Zorvino Vineyards (a local vineyard) Cabernet Sauvignon "Vampire Blood"
Fetzer Guwertzraminer "Toad Saliva"
Bogle Merlot "Arsenic" plus a couple others that I didn't have pics of.
