Ode to Cupcake Vineyards

This is my favorite wine.  My neighbor drank it all when he took care of our dogs last week while we were at the beach.  He replaced the bottle with another company called Guenoc.  It's probably three times the price of my beloved Cupcake wine, and it tastes terrible. 

I had to laugh because this is the description on the Cupcake website of how this wine tastes:

Sourced from the South Island of New Zealand, this Sauvignon Blanc exhibits complexity and a vibrant zing. Flavors of Meyer lemons and Key limes integrate with hints of grapefruit, gooseberry and citrus, culminating in a long, creamy finish. Long, cool seasons in New Zealand’s Marlborough region allow our grapes to mature slowly and gain character and complexity. The grapes are harvested at night and gently crushed before undergoing cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks. An extended fermentation sur lie adds richness and softness, complementing the fruit’s natural zest and acidity.









Um, it takes like cake.  Fruity cake.  Enough said.
