I Ain’t Afraid of No Ghosts’

The witching hour upon us. We offer, to the spirits a tasting to ease their afterlife. Like a sparkling rose made from ancient methods. Leading to a rose so soft, it has been dubbed the ballerina slipper. Then to the blood red wines. We dig into the mystic charms of luck with a California Zin blend.  And to the Spanish Rioja region for a blood curdling delight. Only to end our night with a rich spooky Rhone blend grown in Washington.

Be afraid. Be very afraid….
