1. Treat
Trick and Treat are made exclusively for Cost Plus World Market every year. This 2010 California White Table Wine is cellared & bottled by Treat Cellars, Healdsburg, CA. According to the bottle “It’s always a Treat to serve this haunting wine at a midnight picnic or just visiting with ghoulies, goblins or witches. This wine is spook-tacular by itself served chilled”. At only $7.99, I picked up a bottle to at least have as decoration for my Halloween party.2. Elk Creek Vineyards Ghostly White Chardonnay
According to Elk Creek, 9 out of 10 Ghosts serve Ghostly White Chardonnay at their Halloween Parties. I’ve never tried wine from Kentucky, but this is definitely a cool bottle to have during the Halloween season!
3. Treat
Again, Trick and Treat are made exclusively for Cost Plus World Market every year. This 2010 California White Table Wine is cellared & bottled by Treat Cellars, Healdsburg, CA. According to the bottle “It’s always a Treat to serve this haunting wine at a midnight picnic or just visiting with ghoulies, goblins or witches. This wine is spook-tacular by itself served chilled”. At only $7.99, I picked up a bottle to at least have as decoration for my Halloween party.4. Trueblood Pinot Noir
I love that Trueblood is the last name of the family that owns this winery (and her first name is Hope). This artisan style Pinot Noir comes from Santa Maria Valley and is aged in French oak for 23 months before bottling. The wine is elegant, rich and concentrated with blackberry, plum and dark cherry flavors.5. The Velvet Devil Merlot
A Washington State Merlot brought to us by Charles Smith Wines. Another great winemaker note: “PURE VELVET! Milk Chocolate, wild blackberry, baking spice, rose oil…beautifully perfumed Washington in a glass…Velvet Devil? HELL YEAH!” Their King Coal also gets an honorable mention for Halloween wines.6. Vampire Merlot
This creepy bottle is the perfect accompaniment to any Halloween party, and let’s be serious… the Vampire craze is still going strong. This wine comes from North Coast, California and is smooth and medium-bodied with black cherry aroma, and hints of herbal spices. It pairs well with chicken, beef, lamb, game and pasta with tomato-based sauces.7. Elk Creek Vineyards Bone Dry Red Cabernet
Another wine from Kentucky, Bone Dry Red is aged in small oak barrels and is said to have ripe cherry, red berry, chocolate and hints of spice.8. Chateau du Vampire Cabernet
I love the winemakers note on this one: “A few of you reading this back label might be wondering, how is it that vampires have managed to live in Sunny California, grow grapes, and somehow still survive? You should know that vampire winemakers have learned much over the years. We have learned so much that many of us have now become Daywalkers! Although it is true that we prefer nightlife, what better way to enjoy it than with a glass of this delicious Cabernet.”9. 7 Deadly Zins
A blend of Zinfandel, Petitie Sirah and Petit Verdot from Lodi, this wine is loaded with berry fruit, pepper, spice, and earth characteristics. The wide availability of this wine makes it easy to pick up for Halloween festivities.10. Dracula Zinfandel
Dracula Zinfandel is another wine from Vampire Vineyards, and it originates from Paso Robles, CA. This Zin is big, rich and expressive with deep plum flavors that lead to cracked pepper & spices, with a refined textures and concentration.11. Reserve POIZIN
I prefer the Reserve to the plain old POIZIN because of the cool casket included. Apparently, this Zinfandel from Sonoma County is “the wine to die for”.
12. Ed Hardy Sangria
I had no idea Ed Hardy made wine, but this sangria would serve as a phenomenal centerpiece for any Halloween party. Label aside, this wine is “bursting with the sun drenched flavors of hot Spanish summer” This diverse list should give you ideas for choosing that special spooky Halloween wine.
