Halloween Wines at the Cellars

October 31, 2008 · Comments Off

Saint Louis Cellars has all of the ghosts and goblins out there covered this Halloween!  For your Halloween Parties, try these wines from Saint Louis Cellars!

VAMPIRE, Pinot Noir, Vin de Pays, France ($14.99) – Powerful forest fruit and wild strawberry aromas persist on the nose, balanced by hints of fine French oak.  Elegant soft fruit flavors are already finely integrated into the structure of the wine, as is the oak, adding a subtle but powerful complexity to the flavor.  It is well suited to Venison and game cheeses, and equally well adapted to pasta dishes featuring basil and tomato sauces.  It can also be enjoyed as an aperitif or as an after-dinner wine with snacks and blue cheese.

THE BIG RED MONSTER, Petite Syrah/Zinfandel/Syrah, Napa Valley, California ($12.99) – This red blend if full-bodied and slightly spicy.  It has a nice, fruity flavor of black cherry and plum with some spice and a nice finish.  When pairing with food, just keep it simple: try it with barbecue.
