Wine: 2011 Cupcake "Red Velvet"
Why it's a win: It's named after a delicious, delicious cake! How can you go wrong?! Which is why my husband picked it up in the first place (he's a sucker for red velvet cake.) Also, it's a red table wine with Zinfandel at it's heart, and everyone knows how delicious Zinfandel is.
This is yet another of the wines enjoyed Thanksgiving weekend. It's a little tightly-wound at first - give it a little while to breath and relax. But after awhile, it opens up its chocolaty, cherry-cordial notes with it's rich, long lasting, and ever-so-slightly sweet finish - one might even say it's "velvety"...
Where you can find it: Costco, Trader Joe's, etc.
Price: $7.95 at Costco
