Guarani Music - Los Diablos Del Paraguay

Advantages: Tense, spooky and atmospheric horror
Disadvantages: Some slightly hammy dialogue

...at night. Their lovemaking is a torment to the impotent Casares, who adores Carmen but can no longer satisfy her. Jacnito is of course, only interested in the gold and his late night visits are used to find out more about the whereabouts of the gold. ?The Devil?s Backbone? or ?El Espinazo del Diablo? as it?s called in Spanish, is a stylish and atmospheric horror from one of the masters of the genre - Guillermo del Toro. It is a gloomy, yet smartly paced, off-beat horror but at the same time it is a compelling, delicate and beautifully drawn allegorical yarn. The film works ceaselessly at creating its Civil War setting and tries to turn most of the events of the film into allegorical episodes. One very obvious example of this is the defused bomb in the courtyard - a suggestion that the frail normalcy of life at the orphanage may explode... Read review

...I am usually a white wine drinker but do, on occasions, like a glass (or 3) of red. One of my favourites is Casillero del Diablo cabernet sauvignon.

Advantages: Typically vibrant Cabernet Sauvignon Flavours
Disadvantages: A little bit of hot alcohol on palate

...Sometimes you want less than a full of bottle of wine when you're on your own. When I was recently quaffing solo I indulged in a tasty everyday red from Chile namely Casillero del Diablo (The Devil's Cellars) Cabernet Sauvignon that came in a handy half bottle from Tesco. This was one of the few half bottles available so as usual not a lot of choice for us half bottle quaffers. Nevertheless the limited selection yielded fruit and we're not just talking about this wine's deliciously exuberant flavour ! Chile has had a long history of producing decent Cabernet Sauvignon at affordable prices. This half cost £2.99 (I got mine on offer for £2.24) and I have no regrets with parting with almost three shiny coins for this baby. The bottle itself displayed a tasteful label with the devil's face emblazoned near the top the bottle. The label... Read review
