Stranger Things Halloween Drinks

Everyone’s favorite holiday is almost upon us. It’s a little spooky, a lot of fun and most importantly sweet. Halloween, it’s Halloween!

No Halloween celebration is complete without a serious Halloween candy stash that the cast of Stranger Things would be proud of, and libations that can really hold their own when paired with your favorite snacks and sweets. This holiday, indulge yourself by pairing your (or others’ when they’re not looking) candy with the sweet, refreshing wines from Castello del Poggio and festive staple - Zonin Prosecco.
