👻 HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! BUT THE MOST HAUNTED THING IN YOUR HOUSE IS THE BOTTLE NOBODY TOUCHES.

That neon liqueur from a recipe you made in 2018.

The mystery spirit somebody brought back from vacation.

The cinnamon wh***ey with exactly one argument left in it.

Every time you open the cabinet, they’re standing there like Victorian children.

“Will you make a cocktail with us?”

Bring us the name of your cabinet’s weirdest resident. We’ll help you figure out a mixer.

Or confirm that the exorcism should continue. 🥃

🍷 “I NEED A W**E THAT SAYS THANK YOU, BUT NOT ‘I OWE YOU MY LIFE.’”

We understand.

Watched your dog? Nice bottle.

Helped you move? Better bottle.

Helped you move and never mentioned what they found behind the couch? We should probably discuss your budget.

Tell us the occasion. We’ll help you find the right thank-you.

Because “you’re the best” comes in several price points.

🥃 YOUR KITCHEN ISLAND HAS NEVER SEEN A MEAL.

It has seen mail. Batteries. Three chargers that fit nothing. A screw everyone’s afraid to throw away.

And one banana entering the witness protection program.

Reclaim six inches. Make a cocktail.

The Gold Rush:
• 2 oz bourbon
• ¾ oz fresh lemon juice
• ¾ oz honey syrup — equal parts honey and warm water

Shake with ice. Strain over fresh ice.

Congratulations. Your kitchen island is finally hosting something besides evidence.

🎃 HALLOWEEN PARTY RULE: IF YOU INVITE US OVER, TELL US HOW COMMITTED YOU ARE.

Are we talking “wear a witch hat and eat cheese” Halloween?

Or “your husband is in character and won’t tell us where the bathroom is unless we solve a riddle” Halloween?

Because those are VERY different evenings.

We can help you pick a party w**e, a cocktail liquor, or something nice for the host who spent $400 making the house look abandoned.

Ma’am. For another $50, someone could’ve cleaned it. 💀

🍷 WHAT W**E SHOULD YOU BRING? DEPENDS WHAT YOU’RE WALKING INTO.

Pizza on paper plates? Cabernet.
These are your people. Take your shoes off.

A cheese board with tiny handwritten signs? Sauvignon Blanc.
Somebody labeled the cheddar. Compliment their work.

Dinner isn’t ready and the host is aggressively chopping? Pinot Noir.
Stay out of the kitchen. You are not the sous-chef this marriage needs.

“Just bring yourself”? Prosecco.
Show up empty-handed and you’ll spend the evening explaining why you thought they meant it.

Stop in. Tell us what they’re serving—and how weird they are. We’ll work from there. 🍷

🎃 HALLOWEEN USED TO BE ONE NIGHT.

Now you need a work costume, a party costume, a couples costume, and a separate personality for explaining why you’re not dressing up.

We’re going as a liquor store.

Same outfit. Excellent props. Deeply committed to the role.

Stop in for a bottle to bring to the party. “Person who brought the good w**e” wins every costume contest that matters.

🥃 OCTOBER DATE NIGHT IDEA: GO TO THE LIQUOR STORE TOGETHER.

You’ll learn more in 12 minutes than you will at dinner.

Do they read labels?
Do they have a budget?
Do they say “surprise me” and then reject every suggestion?
Are they buying tequila while explaining that tequila is “a whole story”?

Forget your love languages.

Can you agree on a bottle without one of you saying, “Just get whatever you want”?

That’s the test.

🍷 IF YOU START A MOVIE AT 8:30, YOU ARE MAKING A VERY BOLD CLAIM ABOUT YOURSELF.

You’ve got a blanket. The lights are off. You just said, “I’m only resting my eyes during the previews.”

You’re not watching a thriller. You’re paying $6.99 to have people whisper near you while you sleep.

Our pairing? A buttery Chardonnay and a bowl of popcorn. One brings the flavor. The other ends up in the blanket.

Perfect with asking “Who’s that?” about the main character 74 minutes in.

Stop in. We’ll help you pick the w**e. Someone else can explain the ending.

October is when your neighbor puts six dismembered bodies on the lawn but still has concerns about where you park.

There’s a skeleton crawling out of your mulch, Linda. Let’s prioritize.

Heading to a Halloween party? Bring a bottle of red.

Because apparently “I think your husband’s decorating warrants a search warrant” is not a hostess gift. 🍷

Want a truly unbelievable couples’ costume?

Come as two people who agree on a bottle of w**e.

She wants sweet.
He wants dry.
Both tell us, “We’ll drink anything.”

We suggest a bottle.

Apparently, anything was a very small category.

Come see us. We can usually find common ground before someone says, “This is exactly how you were about the backsplash.” 🍷
