Trick or Treat Antoinette,
Time to be afraid America! I'm not talking about the presidential race, though what could be scarier than dressing up as one of two hyperbolic, cackling grandparents in a suit...yikes! Nor am I referring to Cubs fans hiding under their covers with nightmares of a goat, and Indian fans fearing they will wake up in Cleveland. No, I'm talking about All Hallows Eve! That special night in the year when we remember the dead, watch slasher movies, and send little children out to strangers houses dressed in costumes to beg for treats. It's also time for the adults to stash the expensive candy too good for little Johnny down the street, and to liberate your favorite candy from the bags of the children lucky enough to make it home safe! (It's for their own good...dental hygiene and all)...and then the good part, what wine to pair with your favorite sweet treat. Whether you prefer Amarone with your Tootsie Rolls, a Milky Way with your Cabernet, Sweet Tarts with a Riesling, Starburst with a Moscato D'Asti or Pixie Stix and Sauvignon Blanc, just make sure to have plenty on hand to deafen you to the noise of screaming kids, scary noises, or crying Cubs or Indian fans. Remember, the more you have the better the "tricks" and the "treats" become! And word to the wise if you plan on attending a costume party...take care dressing as a Cub or an Indian for Halloween, you don't want to be accused of cultural appropriation by Winnie the Pooh and Geronimo (or Gandhi for that matter)! I'll see you on the dark side!
Mmmmmwwwwahahahahahaha!
Boo!
