Despite a very mild and occasionally very hot Indian Summer on our part of Long Island (we just took out our window air conditioner units) we have made the transition from the very cold, very dry whites we drink during summer to the very dark, hefty reds we enjoy in the late fall and winter, particularly at the start of Halloween. As always, we start with Apothic line of fragrant, perfume like reds. This year we are favoring Apothic Dark which has great flavors of coffee, smoke and cranberry. It mixes well with my Halloween and autumn reading which trends toward gothic short stories by Poe and Algernon Blackwood as well as vintage magic instruction manuals.
