Wine and Cupcake Pairings

We all know I'm sommelier of sorts (not) and one of my favorite things to do in my spare time is try and pair my favorite wines with my favorite foods. It can be tricky at times (does ANYTHING pair well with sushi?) but most of the time something clicks and the result is amazing. In this post I want to share with you some of my top pairings with my favorite dessert EVER -- cupcakes! Picture credit will be given at the bottom of each photo because I am no professional photographer when it comes to dessert. Happy tasting!
