👻Happy Halloween, you saints and sinners!🎃

This week, we're diving into A Dark Song (2016), a haunting tale about a determined young woman, Sophia, and a damaged occultist, Joseph, who risk their lives and souls to perform a dangerous ritual that promises to grant them their deepest desires.

And what better pairing for this eerie indie film than a spooky, bold red? We're sipping on The 7 Deadly Zins, a full-bodied Zinfandel bursting with blackberry and plum notes that'll make you go WAZAAAA (you'll get it once you listen to the episode).🍷

This week, we're diving into Frank, the offbeat underground film about a mysterious frontman who sings his thoughts, hides behind a mask, and leads a band held together by chaos, genius, and just a little bit of madness.We talk about: how pain is often mistaken for art, what it means to perform vulnerability and whether true creativity can survive outside the walls of isolation.From Don’s search for meaning to Clara’s sharp protectiveness and Frank’s strange, beautiful mind, this film asks one big question: What does it really mean to be original?

We’re pairing it with the 2021 Four-Track Demo from the Finger Lakes, a wine as offbeat and inventive as the film itself. In the words of winemaker Ian Barry, it’s “experimental, lively, and full of fresh ideas - all the things you expect from a four-track demo.”

A bistro red that plays well with a chill, it is bright, juicy, and just a little wild. Expect vibrant acidity, crushed herbs, black pepper, and a hint of something floral and unexpected, like a melody you didn’t see coming but can’t stop humming.

And just like that, it's Tuesday again!

This week, we're cooking up a conversation about Chef (2014), Jon Favreau's heartwarming story of rediscovering creativity and connection through food.

Our pairing is The Critic Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, a bold and smooth wine with notes of blackberry, plum, and mocha notes. It's the perfect reminder to slow down, savor the moment, and return to what feeds your soul.
