Our winery is located in Monterey County, California where warm days give way to cool nights as the fog rolls in off of the Pacific Ocean. It’s this cooling influence that slows the growing process, increasing the time the grapes “hang” on the vine and thereby allow our grapes to mature a little slower than in hotter regions. Slow growth and cool weather leads to a more balanced level of acids and sugars, thereby adding to the complexity and structure of the wines of the Central Coast. This region is poised to become one of the newest and most exciting viticultural opportunities in the coming years. This slow pace continues in our cellar where we take the time to craft wines that are complex, rewarding and hand made. Gentle pressing, cool fermentation, malolactic fermentation, and long barrel aging in small barriques allow us to elevate our wines so that they are rich, creamy and downright delicious. Our winemaker, Adam Richardson has since added a few additional wines from other cool Read more »

Chocolate covered dark cherries ... not too complex but it is delicious. A bit sweet on the finish as is the Cupcake style, riper grapes and a bit of residual sugar seem to be the signature style of the winemaker and the Cupcake wines have been very co...

Pear and apricot on the Nose. Smooth finish for a sparkling wine, with lots of vanilla and honey. Nice refreshing summer wine.

Considering this bottle sells for $7 most places, it's hard not to appreciate its rich fruit flavors and chocolate undertones. Yes, the wine is a bit rough around the edges and feels like it could use a few years. Yet, when cash is tight this is a crow...

Nice cheap bottle of wine. Good for parties , fruit, spice and depth of flavor. Just don't expect it to drink like a $50 bottle.

Great every day Chardonnay - buttery but not too heavy on the palate. Very drinkable and would be a crowd-pleaser at a party

I have to start this review by noting their 2010 Cabernet from Chile is awful. Here we have incredible complexity and smoothness in a dry red for $10, it's hard to beat in its class. A little sour cherries in the front and rich oak and tannin on the fi...

Slipstream

Mellow and very drinkable. Mildly sweet and not sharp. A bit of cream and a touch of honey. Maybe a touch bland. Cupcake is one of my sister-in-law's favorites, and I am getting to like them too. Paid $11 for a bottle.

Lots of bang for buck with this typical California style Chardonnay. Creamy and easy to drink. Apple, lemon and pear blend together for a lovely crowd pleasing wine.

    Just popped the cork on my first Chardonnay...I think I'm in love. What a cool crisp wine. I love the soft grape and pineapple undertones. Thank you so much. I will defiantly be buying this one more.

    I bought some Cupcake Pinot Grigio at Ralph's in San Diego today. The number on the bottle was 8130800106. Neither my husband nor I could remove the screw-top cap. When the cap was loosened, the entire top part, all of metal, revolved, and the cap could not be parted from the rest of the top piece. Finally, we had to use a metal snipper to t...

    I recently discovered Cupcake Chardonnay and delcared it as my "newest favorite chard"! Having been a big fan of Domaine Chandon Chard, this rates equally as good and is much more affordable. Cheers to the vineyard and winemaker! Cupcake Girl
