A Drop Of The Red Stuff

Vampire Pinot Noir

As an ex-dodgy-goth and a big fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I still like to dip in and out of the underworld every now and then, and discovered this winery the other day while surfing the net. Vampire Vineyards

Supposedly owned by a circle of vampires and run by an entertainment lawyer in New York, the company has moved round a bit,starting in Algeria, moving to Italy, Transylvania (of course) and finally ending up in Paso Robles, California.

They have some big fans, the first batch was sold to Alice Cooper apparently and also the Anne Rice fanclub in New Orleans.

There’s quite an interesting history on their site, difficult to know how much of it is true however.

Their range of wines includes “Dracula Syrah”, “Dracula Zinfandel” and “Chateau Du Vampire”. But they don’t just stop at wine they also make vodka, cola (Dracola!) and Witches Brew Beer.

Unfortunately however, as always, it doesn’t seem to be available in Japan. Only North America and Europe. I guess the vampires didn’t make it to the Far East.

If anyone has tried any of these wines, leave a comment and let me know what they’re like, thanks!
