Halloween is almost here and we’ve got the perfect pairings for your spooky-themed movie night 🎥🍿
Which movie is your favorite?

“Scream” introduced us to the iconic final girl, Sidney Prescott. The first installment in the Scream franchise follows Sidney from victim to strong heroine.
Ntsiki Biyela, the w**emaker behind Aslina, could also be considered somewhat of a heroine in the w**e industry. Ntsiki was the first black female w**emaker in South Africa, pioneering the way forward for others in the country.
The label, Aslina, pays homage to Ntsiki’s inspiration, her grandmother. Aslina Cab Sauv is ripe, vibrant, and structured—with a strong sense of character (much like Sidney Prescott).
Looking for some less brutal skin contact than what’s portrayed in the film? Look no further than Folk Machine’s Jeanne D’Arc.
A Chenin Blanc-dominant blend, Jeanne D’Arc brings just enough funk to make it enticing to orange w**e novices. Plus, the color kinda looks like the sunrise at the end of the movie!
Like Jack Skellington, Gustavo Sotelo’s project Orixe Sotelo seeks something new.
Orixe Sotelo reimagines what varietals can be grown in California. Focusing only on Spanish varietals, Orixe Sotelo’s w**es masterfully pay tribute to the native Spanish grapes and California vineyards that make these w**es possible.
The Addams Family is a little unconventional.
Jolie-Laide is also a little unconventional, choosing to focus on rare and overlooked varietals grown in California.
Their Trosseau Noir blend is a super crushable, juicy red that’s perfect for a movie night. The label is also very on theme for spooky season!
Everyone has their own “homecoming” story. For Michael Myers, it was escaping prison to terrorize his hometown. For Alexandra Sainz, it was returning to Bouzy and her family’s vineyards to create her own label.
Some homecomings are better than others, and Sainz’s Grand Cru Brut Rosé is definitely one worth celebrating. Fresh and floral with a creamy undertone, you’ll be glad you have a glass in hand to toast the OG final girl, Jamie Lee Curtis.
“IT” is as much an ode to childhood and foun
