1) Cupcakes & Sparkling Wine Gift Set
Price – $39.99
The passion for cupcakes is here to stay with Stonewall Kitchen’s wonderfully moist cupcakes and deliciously creamy frosting mix. Coupled with a bottle of Cupcake Prosecco and you’re set to have a good time!
Raise a glass of this refreshing Prosecco that sparkles with fine effervescence. Aromas of white peach, grapefruit and honeydew melon lead to flavors of creamy ripe lemon, refined citrus and a toasted brioche finish. Cupcake crafts this wine using only the best Glera grapes – the official grape of Prosecco – from their vineyards in Italy.
The process centers on the charmat method, in which the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in stainless steel tanks to produce its characteristic clean finish.
