Sure, trick-or-treating is lots of fun – until you get out of middle school. What’s in it for the grownups? There’s the joy of your own children’s excitement and wonder, and the neighborly pleasure involved in sitting on your porch handing out treats to the local tots. But come on. None of that compares to free candy.

This year, start your own adult Halloween tradition with a seasonally-appropriate bottle or three of Poizin from Armida Winery. This Sonoma County blend of Zinfandel and Petite Sirah is bold, jammy, and fruit-forward enough to satisfy the mature version of your candy cravings.

Keep a bottle on your porch and some plastic cups, and every parent in the neighborhood will stop by. More than once, probably. If you’re pulling chaperone duty for a gaggle of trick-or-treaters and the going gets grueling, keep in mind the rich, spicy raspberry and oak flavors waiting for you at home. And if you don’t have kids and aren’t handing out candy, let Poizin soothe your bitter feelings of loneliness and isolation on Halloween night.

Of course, there are a lot of other grown-up applications for Poizin around this time of year. So if you order by Wednesday, October 17, we promise the winery will get you your Poizin by next Friday, October 25 (except in Indiana, New Jersey, or Arizona), just in time for Halloween weekend and the parties thereon. And if you’re too late for that, there’s still time to start a new Thanksgiving tradition.
