Wine + Cupcakes = SHUGAR HIGH!

Back in July Shugar Shugar was invited by Corcoran Vineyards to do a Wine & Cupcake pairing. What a beautiful place! Situated amongst the rolling hills of Waterford, VA - the backdrop of this vineyard couldn't be more perfect.

I had prepared to do 25 tastings that day - but luckily I had brought extra cupcakes and as I told owner, Jim Corcoran "I'll bring some extra just in case things get a little wild" ... man did things get WILD!

I walked in, set-up, met Carolyn who was pouring the wine tastings for the event (she's amazing!), and the tasting began. At one point the crowd at the table was three people deep - it was great fun for everyone!

The event sold out in the first hour and within 90 minutes I was completely out of everything including the extra cupcakes! Ten dozen mini Shugar Shugar cupcakes devoured in 90 minutes -- AWESOME! If you missed the event, but would like to see the pairing menu from that day, please check out the posting under the "Discussions" tab on the Shugar Shugar Facebook Fan Page.

Whens the next one?? Well, mark your calendars because coming Sunday, September 4th you can come out and meet Wine Maker, Lori and myself as we pair 4 cupcakes and 4 new wines. There will be two tasting sessions in the winery, 12:00 Noon and 2:00 PM. The cost is $15 and seating is limited so be sure to reserve your spot! Click Here to Reserve.
