Last year I opened a bottle of Twisted Oak's River of Skulls on Halloween and I must say that it is one of my favorite wines to open on this night.  Not only does it have an awesome skull and made by Jeff Stai (aka @eljefetwisted), but it is a blend of Mourvedre with some syrah.  I am not usually into wines this jammy, but the flavors of cherry, raspberry and spice on the back of my tongue really slap me in the face with goodness.  

Another wine fitting for tonight is Orin Swift's The Prisoner. A zinfandel blend that is a great one to drink by candle light... Or jack-o-lantern.   

Okay, off to drink some wine!
