Wine-o: Cupcake Angel Food 2010

Cupcake Vineyards Angel Food 2010, Livermore, CA
13% Alcohol

I was apprehensive about trying this wine.  I expected a sweet riesling like quality.  What I received was far better!  This was a great blend between a buttery California Chardonnay and a fruity Sauvignon Blanc. It is not a sweet wine, think more of a fruity Chardonnay.

Review on tastings.com
Pale golden straw color. Fruity and floral aromas of pineapple and peach jams with a soft, fruity medium body and a tangy, lemon and orange custard finish. A very attractive sipper.
Freya's Score: 8 What a fun surprise this wine was!  The labeling is also lovely.

Cost:  ~$9.00 from Walmart!

  1. Great post! I have a couple other recos for your palate pleasure:
    1) Girard Sauv Blanc (Napa fruit, available at Macadoodles)
    2) Etude Rose (Carneros fruit, probably available for special order at Macadoodles)

    I swear those two will knock your socks off!
