I think Cupcake is just the name of the winery that makes it?

They say they want to achieve the mouth feel of cupcakes. Frosting seems to be vanilla vodka, original has tree fruit (uhuh), Devil's Food Cake is dark chocolate, and chiffon is lemony. I'm not sure what this mouth feel is to achieve.

But I am also a heathen.

I should take a wine tasting class, so I can start being pretentious. Or a tequila tasting class, so I can have some fun.

If gin were invented today, would it still be called gin, or would it be just another flavored vodka?

Somehow I think "vodka that tastes like chewing on a Christmas tree" would be hard to sell.

Well, both, right? It is the winery's name, but then they decided to make a cutesy-wootsy play on their name.

Yes. ASS-flavored vodka.

Then it's not "just" the name of the winery. It's also the name of the winery.

Ooh, I'm having a pedantic day. But this is week three of this migraine, and I want to cut someone. Real hard. Instead, I will track down project documents while listening with one ear to the con call.

I'm still not really reconciled to vodka being made from grapes.

It is? Huh. Donald Trump would take credit for the sun if he could get by with it.

Good lord -- the president released his "long form" birth certificate.

I cannot believe it.

Also: he shouldn't have. But now the birthers are going to come up with some other reason why he's not qualified to be president, so it won't matter. Turtles all the way down, after all.

I am in agreeance.

This whole thing pisses me off and I'm not getting less mad about it either. I think I need to see some pictures of bunnies or something.

I don't understand the word "mouth-feel". It sounds vaguely dirty to me.

I took it that it was named Cupcake Winery, and then because they were named Cupcake, decided to try for the cupcake flavors. But I really skimmed the article.

I like gin sometimes, but this makes me laugh and laugh and laugh.

I don't understand the word "mouth-feel".

It's basically like viscosity/thickness, but not quite. Some wines seem watery, while others seem thicker.
