With the help of October's "black and orange" theme, Eater Wine Club is diving right into Halloween. The wines this month were selected by Houston-based wine pro June Rodil, and her theme translates to a mix of inky, black-fruited reds (the "black" wines) and skin-contact wines, which you've maybe heard referred to as "orange" (basically white wine made like a red wine — that is to say, where the juice sits in contact with the skins).
For June Rodil, these wines not only cheekily reflect the spooky holiday; they also cue the change in season, when we're ready to drink something a little cozier, weightier, and warmer.
So sign up now for Eater Wine Club — even if you don't have the most original costume in the room, you'll still be the one bringing the best wines to the Halloween party.
