Last night Scary Hubby and I had a few friends over for game night. One of my good friends (now best friend) decided to bring me a bottle of wine she happened to come across that she knew I’d like. We have a great bunch of friends. They know what I like, so anything remotely scary is brought to the Scary Jane alter to be oo’d and ah’d over. Well, this time they struck gold. This is a wine from Australia called Killibinbin. They make quite a few different wines, but I received the Scaredy Cat Cabernet Malbec. What makes these wines so great, you ask impatiently? Well, my little pain in the ass, besides being fun to say they have really cool labels. They look like the old pulp mystery novel covers they had back in the day. This of course brings together three of my favorite things. Wine, books and scary stuff. I haven’t tried the wine yet, because the bottle is so neat, but I can imagine that I’ll love it no matter what just because of the presentation. I’m easy that way.
I’ve always wanted black crystal wine glasses. The ones I usually find are quite boring with black stems or just plain glass with no ornament. I finally came across these great Black Diamond wine glasses. I found them at this really cheesy website called ABC Distributing, but they are really cool and better than anything I’ve seen. Trust me I’ve been looking for a long time. They are really cheap at $10.95 for 4! Of course they are not crystal and actually just made of glass, but hey for that price who cares? Can’t you just picture me offering one of these glasses filled with blood to a new subject a la David in The Lost Boys?
I love a good bottle of rich red wine. Whether it be Merlot, Cabernet or Pinot Noir I’m drinking it. Actually any color wine I’m happy with. Well, to be honest almost any kind of alcohol makes me purr with pleasure. In small quantities of course. Anyway, I was recently served a bottle of wine at a friends house for dinner and I just loved it. Of course it didn’t hurt that it was called Vampire Wine and we all know how much I love vampires. I had the Cabernet, so I really can’t vouch for their other offerings, but it was delicious. It reminded me of that scene in the movie The Lost Boys when David gets Michael to drink wine from a bottle that turns out to be blood. You know everything always reminds me of a movie. Anyhow, I poked around on their website and they have a whole line of wines, beer, vodka, energy drinks and even coffee! You can order all of this online, but I have only been able to find the wine in one store so far. You should check out their website. It has some great links and even a fun backstory that is really worth a read. Be one of us and sip the blood of the vine!
