I started with a glass of Turley Zin to take the edge off. Been sampling Bourbon, and nw Rum which is actually better with the candy!
I lack a sweet tooth, so cannot offer a full opinion, but I can mix a chocolate or caramel-ish type sweet with some cognac and ‘get it.’.
Idiosyncratic, I admit.
Happy all hallows eve to my friends here!
Turley Zin too…and a Vilmart.
So is this candy that you bought for the trick or treat visitors, or your own personal stash?!

No candy for me but my wife and I are enjoying a 2019 Caterwaul Cemetery Vineyard. Figured it would be an appropriate wine for the occasion.
I like your style, David. ![]()
A grown-up approach to Halloween!

It all goes back years ago when I discovered that Elmer T. Lee and Butterfinger was a god pairing.
I’m enjoying the 2018 version tonight. Seemed like the right bottle to pull.
I find myself skipping candy more and more. Obviously age, but also something else:

Once a year. I don’t care.
I tried a Worther’s with a Remy Marten 1793! It worked!
I am a lesser man, though, I put ice in the glass.
I don’t eat Halloween candy. After dinner and the 2015 Peay Estate Chard, I made apple crumble with Straus vanilla ice cream. Van Winkle Lot B with dessert.
