Today we are headed to my home state of California for Thirsty Thursday wine tasting! The goal of Thirsty Thursday is to find good and cheap wines for under $10.
2009 Cupcake Vineyards Red Velvet was my wine choice this week and I am so glad I picked it! Out of all of the red wines I have reviewed so far, this is my favorite.
Red Velvet is a blend of Zinfandel, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. It is creamy and smooth with a hint of mocha and chocolate. Interestingly, my wine palate has definitely developed over the last few weeks. Previously I enjoyed wine but I didn’t always get the descriptive words. Red Velvet is right on when they say “blackberry chocolate cupcake with a mocha coulis”.
It may seem odd for wine to have a hint of mocha but I found it very enjoyable. Not overpowering with a nice finish.
Cupcake Red Velvet is around $10 a bottle and well worth it. I even got hubby to drink a glass and he is not really a wine drinker.
As always, make sure you drink responsibly.

Do you have a suggestion for a good and cheap wine under $10? Please leave a comment and let me know!
