Our Spec's purchase on this Friday night was made more in the spirit of Halloween than in the search of great wine and we just couldn't pass up these spooky bottles of juice.
But with the Univ. of Texas playing Tech we knew it would also be a Jameson-Irish-Whiskey-Manhattan-weekend and we should be ready for whatever came--and Tech brought it. Our beloved Horns looked like crap. Well the No. 1 ranking was great while it lasted and the Manhattans were fabulous as usual.
We passed out gobs of candy to lots and lots of little ghouls and goblins, princesses and fairies. The "V" was good--pretty much standard Merlot-ditto for the "W".
