If you fancy yourself a sweet tooth who likes to enjoy both wine and cake on occasion, Birthday Cake Vineyards' wine flavors will definitely be appealing to you. While light white wines are flavored to taste like Strawberry Shortcake, Cheesecake and Cake Batter, stronger flavors like Coffee Cake and Black Forest Cake are paired with red wine bases.
In terms of getting the flavors of the wines just right, it took years. But with entrepreneur David Kanbar (EVP of Skyy Vodka and co-creator of Skinnygirl) and Raphael Yakoby (creator of Hpnotiq and Nuvo) on the project, the unusual wines have been perfected. Fit for any celebration, both red and white wines are best served chilled—who knew you could have your cake and drink it too?
