Here's a brand of wine that sounds perfect for adding a little extra spirit to your Halloween celebrations. Vampire Wines, produced by Vampire Vineyards, have the ideal look for a spooky gathering with not only an appropriate name, but a classy looking label, as well. The grapes are produced at the Recas Vineyard in Transvylvania (what did you expect - Napa?), which is rumored to be a legendary grape-producing region. The merlot rose is the "lead vampire winemaker's " and the most versatile of the offerings. The reds seem to tend towards fruity flavors that go well with meats, particularly red meats, while both the pinot grigio and chardonnay have citrus overtones and complement lighter dishes.
Even though they sell both red and white, but if you're going to buy a vampire wine, it seems natural to go with a red. After all, would any self-respecting vampire really be caught (un)dead with a glass of chardonnay when he could have a glass of dark red merlot?
You can order it online at the Vampire store.
