Who owns cupcake wines

After settling in California, Tomei created original wine for her family label and consulted for a boutique winery in Napa. Most recently, Jessica and her husband worked as independent winemakers. Inspired by the indulgent treat that evokes joy and anticipation, Cupcake Vineyards offers an extensive portfolio of finely-crafted wines to help you celebrate your everyday moments of joy.

After dealing with health problems in recent years, he decided to transition out of the winery, and when the family began looking for new partners to step in, The Wine Group offered to buy the business outright, he said.

Based in Livermore, Calif. The Benziger family is large and multigenerational, and many family members work for the company. Just to name a few recent. Wait a few years to see. Yeah, I don't really think the business model is that new, either. But I do think the brand name is a winner. Americans do love cupcakes.

It's cute. The label looks sophisticated enough that the wine doesn't seem cheap. It's got a great price point. It's totally accessible. However, I honestly don't know if most consumers even notice that the wines are from different regions. If they do, I don't think they choose Cupcake because they think it'll be a good representation of that region.

They choose it because it's cute, accessible and priced right. The business model is very different from Cameron Hughes, who is a negociant basically buying finished wines. Cupcake is having them made. What's unusual is how widespread their reach is. I don't know of another company making wine under the same label in Italy, Australia, Germany and the US.

I don't really know Origen or Layer Cake. But they're not huge like Cupcake which has become one of the biggest brands in the US in just a few years. So that's also something. Layer cake has 3 or 4 big reds and a Chard. It seems to me that Cupcake has a more diverse portfolio, it's probably a much bigger company. Im curious to try it. I tried few of their wines, but seriously, they are not much better than 2 Buck Chuck, and have similar successes. Or the boss goes over there and makes some decisions on what, when or how to harvest, what yeast, etc???
