I went in search of a few more Halloween worthy booze buys. First up a Shiraz from Fullglass Wines out of Australia where it’s all about the spooky skull label. “A deeply coloured, monster of a wine packed with bold red and black fruit aromas with a touch of licorice and vanilla. The palate is dense with floral, smoky oak, vanilla and spice with firm tannins.” $20

Next I encourage you to take a ride on a witches broom with Sea Cider’s Witch’s Broom Cider, a semi-sweet cider full of fall spices. A portion of the proceeds goes to combat invasive plants in the area. Great with roast meats.

Finally some skull vodka tastings. Friday, October 31, 2014 2:00 pm – 6:00 pm
