Benighted is the second novel by J.B. Priestly, both his first and second were published in 1927, though he didn't hit it big with the public until his third novel, The Good Companions which came out in 1929. Benighted was released in the US as "The Old Dark House" which references how it's a deconstruction or summartion of "Old Dark House" stories, a popular subgenre at the time. Similar to how Joss Whedon's CABIN IN THE WOODS was named to be the same for that particular subgenre.
THE WINES
DALLAS' WINE:
2018 Chateau Laubespin Le Moulin Medoc
A robust, straightforward Bordeaux, perfect for everyday drinking. It has beautiful notes of acidity, balanced with jammy red and black fruits, cedar and a hint of graphite. Enjoy on its own or with a dark and stormy night.
DAVE'S NOT-WINE:
J. Rieger Caffe Amaro
A one-of-a-kind take on coffee liqueurs. Amaro (the Italian word for "bitter") is a category of liqueur characterized by its bitter, herbal, and slightly sweet flavor which stems from the use of botanicals, herbs, and cane syrup. Rated 92 points by the esteemed Ultimate Spirits Challenge, Caffè Amaro is a collaborative spirit with Kansas City-based coffee roasters, Thou Mayest, who selects a single-origin coffee roast to contribute to the flavors the botanicals generate.
Caffé Amaro spends a brief amount of time in a whiskey barrel resulting in a rich, bittersweet flavor that works great in cocktails or can be enjoyed by itself after a meal on a dark and stormy night.
