Well, we might not have awesome homemade costumes this year for Halloween, but we do have a robot pumpkin named Oscar. That’s about all we had time, energy, and creativity for. Josh thinks he smells funny, but really he’s just jealous Oscar has such good looks.
If you really want something frightening, try going the whole weekend without any sparkling wine. Shocking! Cruel! Too gruesome for words. Even our favorite pug Mr. Jiffers knows you can’t have a celebration without something bubbly. Look into his eyes…you can’t tell him no!
While you’re out being ghastly (or flashing a ridiculous amount of skin, if you’re a college-aged female), we suggest grabbing a glass, or bottle, of something sparkly. Recently we tried the Scharffenberger Brut ($19). Made in the traditional champagne style, this wine had a very light, citrusy aroma, with a lovely golden color. It was smooth and spicy, and while we like our bruts to be a little drier, this still went down smooth and easy. The flavors started sharp with grass and lemon, and ended sweeter and spicier. Still, we were left wanting a little more complexity and a deeper flavor. Of course we finished the bottle, avoiding certain destruction from Mr. Jiffers (he doesn’t let anything go to waste!)
Score: She gives it a 3, he gives it a 2.5
Recommended: It didn’t scare our shirts off, good or bad. You should probably stick with witches’ brew this time around.
