Halloween is upon us - how quickly the year is passing.  I figured that I might as well be seasonal and review Vampire Wines, specifically the Pinot Grigio and Cabernet.  We tasted these out last Saturday.  I guess every review can not be positive.  In a word - Ughh!!!  The Pinot Grigio was devoid of flavor.  There was some initially, but it quickly dissipated into a watery, tasteless finish.  I am not sure how you can screw up Pinot Grigio, as most are serviceable, but there you have it.  Obviously, I did not approach the Cabernet with much expectation.  I was not disappointed, as this was a sister to the Pinot Grigio.  Weak, no tannins, and very little flavor, if any.  I suppose this will work for those wanting to celebrate Halloween - and the best part is there is little chance that you will drink too much.

I would recommend wines like Seven Deadly Zins or Seven Heavenly Chards in place of this.  In addition, there are a ton of great seasonal beers which will be gone soon - Dogfish Head Punkin to name one of the best.

Have a great Halloween!!!
