Dear Wine Ladies

We'll be welcoming a gruesome crowd for our first Halloween party at our new condo acquired just last month. A range of wines, always our first beverage of choice, will be served but we wondered if you knew of any cocktails or drinks that are made with wine, preferably red, and/or if you know of any Halloween themed wine labels out there?

Dear Joanne

Congratulations on your new condo, what a fabulous way to beckon good spirits and good friends to your new abode!

Indeed, we do have a simply delicious and devilish cocktail to suggest, courtesy of Victor Miller, founder and proprietor of the BSO, Bartending School of Ontario http://www.bartendingontario.com  Join their FaceBook Group Page http://www.facebook.com/groups/2704335952/


"Witches Blood" is the name of the cocktail, incorporating a good dosage of Merlot, this cryptic cocktail delivers big on flavour, punch and esthetics.

WITCHES BLOOD
Introducing my newest creation just in time for HALLOWEEN!
"WITCHES BLOOD"
1 oz. Silver Tequila
1/2 oz. Cassis
1/2 oz. Blue Curacao
Dash Orange Bitters
2 oz. kiwi juice

April 11th, 2012-Toronto

The mighty THOR, considered the most renowned of all the Norse gods as a powerful and brooding warrior, has inspired the release of the Single Malt Scotch THOR, the first of the Valhalla Collection. Georgia tries her best to simulate a Norse warrior... how scary is that? The scotch and the 5 course meal was stupendous at the Highland Park THOR Launch & Spirited Dinner at Colborne Lane.

Marc Laverdiere, Brand Ambassador for Highland Park Single Malt Scotch Whisky shared the tales of the Gods, with THOR, being the god of thunder and war, tall and strong, Thor dies in a mighty battle with the evil serpent, and has "Thursday" named after him, Thor's day.

With a natural strength like its namesake, THOR draws from the environment unique to Orkney, Scotland...The Valhalla Collection, provides a guide to the Gods, and a tale of warriors who died in battle and gather to feast, drink and more.
