At the most unique Halloween experience that New York City has to offer, Craig – for the first time – will combine his two talents in one event called WINE & SPIRITS. At this never-done-before event, Craig will lead an informative tasting of some of his favorite labels from the wine world, while educating the audience about the dark and mysterious regions of the Spirit world, featuring a spooky exploration of the ghosts of the Astor Center and other haunted New York City hotspots.
