πŸŽƒπŸ· Lights, Camera, BOOze! πŸ·πŸŽƒ

Ah, autumn, the season that turns leaves into a stunning fashion show, and Mother Nature into a master decorator. There's always so much happening – from adventurous hikes and pumpkin-paloozas to chili nights with friends, park picnics that defy the chill, and pilgrimages to the sacred apple orchard. And let's not forget the costume crusaders, the home decorators who could give Santa's elves a run for their money, and those brave souls who willingly enter the hair-raising realm of haunted houses.

But when it's family movie night, you know what's on everyone's mind? Horror movies! Because, really, what's Halloween without a little spine-tingling spookiness to keep us on our toes and in the spirit of the season? It's like the pumpkin spice latte of movie genres – a must for a truly 'boo-tiful' autumn! πŸŽƒπŸ‚πŸ‘»πŸΏ

Rosemary's Baby (1968), Psycho (1960), The Exorcist (1973), and The Shining (1980) – these are the OG scream-inducing classics, the kind that made folks clutch their popcorn and sleep with the lights on. But here's the kicker: if you're a fan of these spine-chilling classics, you're in for a treat that's more thrilling than the scariest plot twist!

Introducing our EN PRIMEUR WINERY SERIES: Italy Super Tuscan. This wine doesn't just knock on your taste buds' door; it bursts in with all the authority of a movie monster. Picture aromatics of fresh raspberries and subtle hints of vanilla and earth – it's like the wine version of a suspenseful plot twist. With firm tannins and a concentrated palate of blackberries and black pepper, this old-world wine pairs so fantastically with horror classics that it's practically the supporting actor.

But before you press play and prepare to hide behind your couch, be sure to grab a glass and pair it with a tender cut of pork or a succulent slow-cooked beef. It's the ultimate horror movie survival kit – because who needs a security blanket when you've got wine this good? 🎬🍷😱

However, maybe you’ve stepped into a new faze in life, and you’ve replaced your horror films for an all new era family fright night? And now your spooky night is more like Hocus Pocus (1993), It’s The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966), The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), Ghostbusters:Afterlife (2021), and Beetlejuice (1998). These movies are so fun and modern (yes, even Charlie Brown), everyone is sure to love them.

But what's a modern movie night without the perfect modern wine? Enter our EN PRIMEUR WINERY SERIES: Chile Malbec. This wine is like the cool, trendy friend who always knows what's hip. Picture a bouquet so brilliant, it's like a disco ball made of dark fruits, with just a dash of oak, vanilla, and spices – it's practically the wine version of a red carpet event. And when you take that first sip, you'll find it's as full-bodied as a Hollywood blockbuster, with plum and berry flavors that'll make your taste buds do a happy dance.

But here's the real showstopper: it's the ideal pairing for pasta, spicy sausage, or juicy BBQ chicken. And for dessert, well, we suggest you cozy up on the couch with a sweet treat and one of these heart-racing horror flicks. After all, nothing beats the adrenaline rush of a good scare, except maybe the perfect wine to go with it! πŸ·πŸŽ¬πŸ‘»πŸπŸ—

Choosing a scary movie is a bit like picking out a fine wine – there's an overwhelming array of styles and varieties to navigate! Whether you're in the mood for an old-world classic that's as timeless as Dracula or a new world modern thriller that's scarier than a haunted smartphone, you're in for a wine and chills adventure.

Here's a quick pro-tip for your next spooky-themed night, one filled with delectable food, wine, and heart-pounding film: make sure you have a cozy blanket within arm's reach. You know, just in case you need a comfy fort to hide in when the suspense gets too intense! Because nothing pairs better with a good scare than a glass of wine and the comforting embrace of a blanket fort. πŸ·πŸŽ¬πŸ‘»πŸΏπŸ›Œ
