Month: October 2022

BOO! Halloween is here, but no need to fear, there’s wine to drink! Here are some wines that are the pick of the patch this holiday season:

Château St. Sulpice 

The Château Saint-Sulpice Bordeaux Rouge is a blend of 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc. The wine exhibits black cherry, spice and plum notes, with great depth and balance that matches well with the cool weather. 

Robert Hall Cabernet Sauvignon 

Robert Hall Cabernet Sauvignon has aromas of black currants, cedar, and spice. The wine is full-bodied with cocoa and plush ripe fruit flavors supported by balanced velvety tannins that will add flavor to any spooky holiday!

Nothing is better than an ice-cold beer with cooler weather! Grab a flannel, a friend, and these 3 beers to celebrate the fall season: 

Hi-Wire Zirkusfest Oktoberfest 

This traditional Märzen boasts all the flavors one wants in a rich Oktoberfest lager without the heavy finish. The use of Munich malt provides upfront biscuity and honey flavors that fade into a dry finish.

Harpoon UFO Pumpkin 

The Harpoon UFO Pumpkin is easy-drinking and has a clean finish with lingering notes of cinnamon and nutmeg. This beer is perfect for the fall, including a blend of seasonal spices that pairs well with real pumpkin puree.

Common Bond Zelda Blonde 

The Common Bond Zelda Blonde is a flavorful ale that is crisp and fizzy. This easy-drinking ale is best served for a fall picnic or a relaxing afternoon outdoors.
