Cupcakes and Wine: The coziest of Combos!

Everytime Marc and I go up to the Santa Ynez wine valley we discover something new and this time it was a really something special. While sitting in our favorite coffee shop I picked up the latest issue of Santa Barbara magazine and read a quick article about a party that happened at the Sarloos& Sons tasting room. From the list of celeb guests it sounded pretty swanky. I noticed the address was right on the main street running though Los Olivos. Marc and I usually don’t go to the tasting rooms, preferring to visit the actual wineries when possible but since Los Olivos is so tiny it would be impossible not to check out this new addition.

After breakfast we took a stroll around town and easily stumbled upon Sarloos. When I saw this sign I knew we were in trouble!!!

Inside was like a tiny jewel box! Everywhere I looked was something beautiful, especially if you like Vintage Modern as much as I do! This was not your usual tasting room, someone had really thought this out and taken the concept of cupcakes and wine, or wine paired to go with cupcakes to a new level!

Cupcakes with names like Chocolate Blackberry Syrah and Ginger Lime Chardonnay are paired with the wines of the Sarloos & Sons winery. You can order a “flight” of cupcakes like the picture above, don’t ask how we resisted, but we did. However, we did do a wine tasting and liked some of them very much. The labels are on par with the tasting room, beautiful and unusual each with a story. Check out this page on their website. Also like how they are into Social Media – this is one modern thinking winery. Wish other’s would jump on the bandwagon and update their sites. Hello winery marketing???

One of several gorgeous wine labels

Lots of beautiful treasures to look at!

even a little “retail therapy”… a highly dangerous combo with wine and cupcakes, right?

I loved this table made out of a silver tray

So, all in all a totally delightful new discovery. Maybe a little on the girly side, but let’s face it, if the wine is good and the woman is happy then guys, what’s not to like about that! Sarloos & Sons, highly Cozy and highly recommended!
