On Thursday night, I attended Meghan and Michelle‘s wine tasting event at Boston Wine Exchange.
Complete with cupcakes, Cabot cheese, wine, and bloggers, I think the event was a definite success!
We sampled 8 wines, 4 whites and 4 reds. I liked everything that I tried, but had some definite favorites that needed to come home with me.
We learned a lot about Bell Wine Cellars and Clone 6, a successful clone from the Cabernet Sauvingnon Clone Trials in the 80s.
Boston Wine Exchange has a great selection of wine. I love browsing: looking at the fun labels and reading the wine descriptions.
Jared and I spent some time chatting with BWX’s owner Eamon Keating. He even told us what champagne rappers are drinking now that Cristal doesn’t want to be associated with them. 
I enjoyed so many sips of delicious wine.
Rachel, a representative from Cabot Cheese, was on hand with a huge tray of cheese and crackers for us to enjoy in between glasses of wine. She also gave everyone a goodie bag with a sample of Cabot Cheese, a magnet, seeds, a corkscrew, and a few other cute Cabot-themed goodies.
Wine snob! Plus I was excited to be able to take a photo of my outfit. For the past few weeks, I’ve been living in black yoga pants and a Healthworks t-shirt. I was excited to wear jeans! And to wear my new Bensimon slip on sneakers.
Meghan predicted I would flip out when the wine tasting ended and it was time to sample cupcakes from Mix Bakery.
She was right! 
Rhubard cupcakes! (My favorite sample of the evening)
Chocolate cupcake with heavenly peanut butter frosting.
Of course wine was still the focus of the evening.
I enjoyed a few pours from the wine machine. I tried Cupcake’s Chardonnay (thumbs up) and a Malbec (also good).
I had a great time at the event. It was nice to meet some new bloggers and try some delicious wine and cupcakes. Thank you Meghan and Michlle!

First off, the cupcakes are so cute and have me drooling. Second, this looks like so much fun. I love tasting wine. We keep finding new ones to try here from both the island and mainland Portugal.
