Celebrate the season with these scary Halloween Wines

Does finding the right wine for your Halloween party fill you with apprehension and dread? Fend off the wine willies with these scary selections:

Zombie Zin

A must-have for gruesome gatherings, Zombie Zin is a blood-red California Zinfandel bursting with plum and black currant. Pair it with sweet brains or a juicy blood sausage. “It’s the wine that would not die…”

Zombie Chard

Dress up your horror d’oeuvres with this frighteningly good California Chardonnay. It will shock your senses and haunt your wine glasses. Perfect for horror movie marathons and the upcoming apocalypse.

Bull’s Blood

Looking for something more historically accurate that old Vlad the Impaler himself might have enjoyed? Bull’s Blood from the Kovacs Nimrod winery of Hungary is a traditional dry quality red that is very representative of the red wines of Eger. This terroir-rich varietal carries the flavor of the soils of its production site and the mezzo-climate unique to that region. Deep ruby in color, its flavors and aromas present rich, spicy and fruity characteristics, mellowed without a tannin accent.

The Walking Dead Wines

To celebrate the popular TV show, The Last Wine Company resurrected their Cabernet Sauvignon and Blood Red Blend, allowing you the opportunity to bring your bottle to life using their The Living Wine Labels app, which animates (or reanimates) when the app is launched and pointed at the label.

Instead of killing time looking for these offerings all around town, take the fear out of wine shopping by grabbing them all in one fell at Wyatt’s where our superior selection and experienced staff will help you find the perfect bottle for all seasons.

5 Irish whiskies to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day 2019

There’s no better way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day than with a toast of true Irish whiskey. With its signature smoothness, sweetness, and easy drinkability, you can see why the Irish style is the fastest growing in the whiskey market.

For your celebration, try one of these festive Irish whiskey options:

Green Spot

A favorite of whiskey critics, Green Spot has an aroma and taste of orchard apples and toasted wood with a sprinkling of clove. It is full bodied while balancing the fruity sweetness and toasted oak spiciness into a nicely malted finish with accents of vanilla.

Redbreast 12

Redbreast is a very special single pot still whiskey that is matured for a minimum of twelve years in sherry casks and bourbon barrels. It is robust, assertive, and highly praised among whiskey connoisseurs. Its nose is nutty and rich with notes of dried peels and spice. Its palate exhibits essences of spice and freshly cut citrus fruit with hints of marzipan and sherry. Redbreast has a delightfully long finish full of creamy custard and spice.

Teeling Small Batch

This small batch bottling consists of hand selected casks which are given further maturation in ex-rum barrels imparting extra character and smooth flavor unique to Irish whiskey. Bottling at 46% ABV with no chill filtration.

Bushmills Red Bush

This variant is a bourbon barrel-aged specialty. Matured in American White Oak, this blend of malt and fine grain whiskeys is triple distilled for smoothness and aged for a minimum of four years. Its taste offers sweet, nutty vanilla notes, with just a touch of bourbon.

Jameson Stout Caskmates

Emerging from a conversation between their head distiller and the head brewer of Cork’s Franciscan Well Brewery, Jameson Caskmates is finished in stout-seasoned whiskey casks. While their triple-distilled smoothness is very much intact, notes of cocoa, coffee and butterscotch confirm the stout influence in the classic Irish whiskey.

You can find these, as well as many other types of celebratory whiskey, at large, local independent spirit retailers like Wyatt’s Wet Goods, who offers you superior choice and selection for all your drinking desires.

Celebrate Halloween with Heritage Hills Pumpkin Spice Liqueur

Heritage Hills Pumpkin Spice Liqueur is an adult pumpkin beverage with sweet notes of oranges, vanilla, and graham crackers layered with cinnamon and cloves. It is seductive and long in the finish, allowing all its pumpkin flavor to shine. It is not overtly syrupy, and pairs well with other spiced liqueurs and whiskeys.

It also performs nicely as a dessert cordial with roasted nuts, ice cream, or fruit cocktails.

The strength of Heritage Hill’s pumpkin cream liqueur is how well it partners with other flavored spirits for a seasonal treat. Try it in an equal part combination with either Disaronno Amaretto or Frangelico for a “Nutty Pumpkin” cocktail. It also pairs well with whipped cream or marshmallow flavored vodkas.

For something specially fitting the change in temperature, mix one part Heritage Hills Pumpkin Spice with two parts of your favorite cinnamon whiskey.

However you choose to enjoy your grownup pumpkin spice this fall, remember to drink responsibly.

Heritage Hills Pumpkin Spice is a perennial autumn release. You can find it, as well as some unique options for mixing partners, at large local, family owned liquor stores like Wyatt’s that offer you a variety of fun, holiday treats.
