Who Is Tim?
My name is Tim Brinkmann and while I'd prefer to answer your questions in person at my store, you will always have 24-hour access to my wine and spirits knowledge on my Ask Tim page. My background and my passion both lie in the wine and spirits industry, with over 10 years experience as a spirits wholesaler and 9 years in fine wine distribution. I opened Brinkmann's Wine & Spirits because I love to discover new wines and spirits and I have a great appreciation for the evolution, growth, and maturity of existing brands. Please come visit me in the store so we can talk shop, or feel free to interact with me here. Just remember: Good, Better... Brinkmann's!

Tricia J. asks Tim –“I am throwing a Halloween bash at my house and want to serve some "Halloween-themed" wine and spirits. Can you suggest some labels that would help create a "spooky" evening for my guests?”

Tim responds – Here at Brinkmann's Wine and Spirits I have a whole cauldron full of spooky wines and spirits to set the mood for your monster bash! For the "Team Edward" clan, I suggest Vampire Pinot Noir and Vampyre Vodka. Other fun wines to play with are Hallo Vine Cabernet, Pinot Evil, Ghost Pines Cabernet, Diablita Red/White/Rose and Strait Jacket Sauv Blanc/Semillon. Death's Door Vodka will have the party-goers come 'a knockin! My favorite spirit has to be Crystal Head Vodka, created by our favorite Ghost Buster: Dan Aykroyd. The bottle is the actual size and shape of a human skull! Add a few drops of red food dye and you've got yourself one monster party!

 

Cheers! Tim
