If the old walls of a historic winery could speak, what stories would they whisper into your ear? Would they tell you of the generations of winemakers who toiled with passion and patience? Or perhaps, they’d speak of something darker—shadows that linger in the corners, and spirits who never left? In this spooky season, let's me take you on a journey through some of the world’s most haunted wineries, where the lines between wine and whispers from the past blur. These aren’t just places where vines grow; they’re where the past still breathes, waiting for the curious to listen. Pour yourself a glass of Sauvignon Blanc, and let’s take a journey through five of the most haunted wineries across the globe. 1. Château de Brissac – Loire Valley, France Let’s begin in the Loire Valley. I’ve always had a soft spot for this region—its wines, its beauty, its history. But Château de Brissac . The first time I heard about La Dame Verte —Charlotte de Brézé—I couldn’t help but wonder what it would feel like to walk through those halls, knowing her story. Betrayed by her husband and murdered in a jealous rage, her ghost is said to roam the halls, her disfigured face appearing to those who least expect it. I imagine sipping a glass of their wine, feeling the weight of her sorrow in the air, the taste of history on my tongue. 2. Beringer Vineyards – Napa Valley, California there’s Beringer Vineyards , where the Rhine House , feels less like a mansion and more like a time capsule. Frederick Beringer’s presence is still felt by many who visit, a ghost watching over the legacy he built. As the sunlight filters through the stained glass windows, it’s as though the past and present are connected by the vineyards that stretch out beyond the estate. Wine here doesn’t just carry the flavor of the grapes, it carries the echoes of those who made it possible. 3. Château du Taillan – Bordeaux, France Bordeaux, the heart of some of the world’s finest wines, has its own share of haunted tales. Château du Taillan   is home to La Dame Blanche  (The White Lady), a ghostly figure thought to be the spirit of a Moorish princess. After falling in love with a man deemed unworthy, she was cast out by her father, destined to wander the estate in search of her lost love. Some say they’ve seen her on misty mornings, drifting through the ancient cellars. The château’s white wine is named after her, and it’s said that her presence brings a strange calmness, as if she’s still searching, waiting for someone to tell her story. For visitors, every glass becomes a bridge to a time when the past and present exist in a delicate balance. 4. Buena Vista Winery – Sonoma, California In the rolling hills of Sonoma, Buena Vista Winery  has a history as rich as its wines. Founded by Agoston Haraszthy , the eccentric “Count of Buena Vista,” the winery is not only a cornerstone of Californian viticulture but also a hub of paranormal intrigue. The Count met a mysterious and grisly end—allegedly devoured by alligators during an expedition in Nicaragua—but his spirit seems to have returned to Buena Vista. Ghost hunters have reported shadowy figures dressed in 19th-century attire, footsteps on the roof, and strange lights flickering in the cellars. Paranormal experts have long considered it one of the most haunted spots in wine country. But perhaps that’s just part of its charm—there’s something undeniably thrilling about enjoying a glass of wine with a side of the supernatural. 5. Bartholomew Park Winery – Sonoma, California Neighboring Buena Vista, Bartholomew Park Winery   has a dark past all its own. Once a women’s prison, a hospital, and a morgue, the land where the winery now stands is said to be steeped in the energy of those who once lived (and died) there. Visitors and staff have reported hearing disembodied voices and music drifting from nowhere, as if the ghosts of the past are still playing their last songs. The cool cellars, with their stone walls and dim lighting, can make you feel as if you’re not alone. For those brave enough, the haunting becomes part of the experience—where the echoes of the past mingle with the flavor of the present, and every glass carries the weight of history. And now, as Halloween approaches, what better way to celebrate than with our own ghostly gathering? Join us for Hallowine  on October 31st , where we'll host a special wine tasting event at our cozy shop. You’ll enjoy five different wines paired with six mysterious snack experiences. But be warned—there may be more than just wine in the air. No trick, all treat, as we invite you to share in this eerie yet delightful evening. Don’t miss out on the fun, and maybe a little fright, as we toast to the spirits—both in the bottle and beyond!   Cheers to a hauntingly good time! Macy Nguyen The Curious Cork Popper

Sitting down at a restaurant, you’re handed the wine list. A mix of foreign-sounding names and intimidating prices, and suddenly, a simple dinner becomes a puzzle. But wine isn’t supposed to be stressful—it’s meant to be enjoyed. Let’s turn that daunting list into an adventure.   With modern wine lists offering a treasure trove of unique regions, varietals, and hidden gems, this is your chance to elevate the meal into something truly memorable. Let these simple tips guide you through the process. Avoid the Classic Choices You know the names—Pinot Noir, New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs, maybe even a classic Sancerre. These wines are widely recognized for good reason, but they’re often marked up because they’re “safe bets.”   The trick? Look for lesser-known varietals and regions that can offer more excitement and better value. Ever heard of Sylvaner from German? Or Teroldego  from Italy? These wines might not roll off the tongue, but they’re often more interesting than the usual suspects, and far more rewarding for the price. When you see a wine you’ve never heard of nestled between the Chardonnays and Pinot Grigios, take a leap of faith—there’s usually a good reason it’s on the list. Price Isn’t Everything There’s always a temptation to grab the cheapest bottle on the list, but let’s be honest: it’s probably the most heavily marked up. On the other hand, the priciest bottle may not deliver the experience you're looking for either. The sweet spot? Mid-range wine. This is where passion and quality intersect—wines chosen because they offer the best balance of flavor and value. In this range, you’ll often find wines with personality, reflecting the care and curation of the restaurant’s wine buyer. These bottles don’t just tick a box—they’re chosen because they elevate the dining experience. So instead of going for extremes, aim for the middle ground where the magic happens. Forget About Vintages Unless you’re a wine collector searching for a rare, aged bottle, don’t get too caught up in the vintage. The year on the label doesn’t matter as much as you might think, especially with most restaurant wines. Lists are curated with wines that are ready to drink now. Recent vintages are often bright, fresh, and full of character, perfect for complementing your meal.   So don’t let the vintage numbers confuse you. Focus on the varietal and region, and trust that the wine has been selected for your immediate enjoyment. After all, wine is meant to be savored in the moment—not overanalyzed. Embrace the Sommelier You don’t have to be the expert—that’s what the sommelier is for. Sommeliers aren’t just there to push the most expensive bottle; they’re there to enhance your dining experience. Think of them as your personal wine guide. Don’t hesitate to ask questions or share what you’re in the mood for. Whether it’s a preference for something light and crisp or rich and bold, a good sommelier will match your preferences with something delightful and unexpected.   One of the best parts of dining out is the chance to let someone else do the hard work. Share the dish you’ve ordered or the general style of wine you enjoy, and trust the sommelier to lead you to the right bottle. They’ve curated the list with care, and their expertise can transform your meal into something truly special. Trust Your Gut At the end of the day, wine is about enjoyment. Don’t get bogged down by technicalities or feel pressured to choose the “right” wine. If a certain bottle or region piques your interest, go for it. Maybe it’s the way a description sounds or the fact that the wine comes from a region you’re curious about. Trust those instincts. Often, the best experiences come from a leap of faith, whether it’s picking a wine you’ve never tried or simply following your mood.   Wine doesn’t have to be perfect; it just has to bring you pleasure. So lean into your preferences, trust your gut, and enjoy the adventure that comes with each glass. Even if you’re not a wine expert, you know what you like—let that guide you. The Joy of Discovery So next time you’re faced with a wine list, take a deep breath. This isn’t a quiz—it’s an opportunity to discover something new, to elevate your meal, and to find joy in a bottle you might not have picked before. Skip the usual choices, trust your instincts, and let the sommelier help you along the way. You might just find that wine is no longer the most daunting part of the meal, but the most exciting.   Cheers to enjoying the journey, one glass at a time. Macy Nguyen The Curious Cork Popper
