Red Wine & Candy Pairings

If you like: Kit-Kats

Try: Tall Dark Stranger Malbec 

The red and black fruit notes in Tall Dark Stranger Malbec and chocolate wafer will taste like a grown-up version of a chocolate-dipped cherry. It stays well within this wine’s motto: “Sip with something – or someone – delicious.” Shop now or find near you.

If you like: Snickers

Try: Girl & Dragon Cabernet Sauvignon

Snickers aren’t your average chocolate bar, it’s filled with caramel, peanut, and nougat which is why the dark fruit notes in Cabernet Sauvignon contrast with the sweet and salty combo. This wine stands up to bold flavors, but is versatile enough to handle all of the tasty layers of the candy bar. Shop now or find near you. 

Ghoulish Grown-Up Party Ideas

Glow-in-the-Dark Ice Bucket

No magic tricks needed here! Grab a handful of skinny glow sticks and position them below a clear bowl of ice. Add wine for chilling and voilà! The spookiest wine presentation on the block. 

Vampire’s Delight 

The old “is that blood in your glass?” trick is so simple it’s scary. Stock up on plastic medical syringes and add it to any glass of red wine when serving your guests. Equal parts “eew” and brilliant.

Mummy Brie

Get your hors d’oeuvre in on the spookiness with a touch of Halloween flair. We love adding this mummified brie to our snack tables for a creepy, cheesy treat.
