Photos for the items are being posted on the special Facebook page . Email bids must sent to joe@sleepycreekvineyards by 5:00 PM on Jan 28th.

Cupcakes for Your Cupcake
Sat, Feb 11 and Sun, Feb 12
Just for Valentine's weekend, Sleepy Creek Vineyards is having the famous cake creators Eric and Patty Woller, who have appeared on TLC and the Food Network, prepare special cupcakes to pair with our wines and even a beer. You may remember Eric and Patty from either the cupcakes they were selling and the wine barrel cake they made for our 2011 Salt Fork River Art Festival.
For $5 a person, you can taste all available wines and select one cupcake. Additional cupcakes will be available to purchase for $3 each. Here are the extraordinary flavors we are offering:
- The Big Red Hen: This is a Red Velvet cupcake infused our Hen Pecked wine, cream cheese frosting and a spiked cherry on top. Wine pairing recommendation: Our semi-sweet Hen Pecked, of course!
- Chocolate Stout: An unusual Dark Chocolate Stout cupcake with maple cream cheese frosting and bacon on top. Wine pairing recommendation: None, but great with a glass of beer (we have several craft beers to choose from).
- Death by Chocolate: A Chocolate cupcake filled with chocolate fudge filling and chocolate frosting. Wine pairing recommendation: Cut the sweetness with a glass of Bull Headed, our driest red. Would complement Hen Pecked also.
- Lemon and Raspberry Delight: For the fruit lovers, a Lemon cupcake filled with sweet raspberry preserves and lemon zest butter cream frosting. Wine pairing recommendation: Our semi-sweet white wine, Sour Puss adds just a little more sweetness and zest.
- Drunken Pear: A French Vanilla cupcake infused with our sweet white wine, Scapegoat, and filled with drunken pear filling and almond butter cream frosting. Wine pairing recommendation: Scapegoat or Bashful Ewe are dreamy with this beautiful cupcake.
- Apple Pie: This is an Apple cupcake filled with cinnamon and apple filling with salted caramel frosting. Wine pairing recommendation: A hot glass of our red or white wine mixed with our Mulling Spices. It's a warming treat.

Known as terrific live performers, these gentlemen create an intoxicating blend of rural and urban music. Lots of country blues and swing, a little ragtime and a dash of hip-hop groove - the result is a blend of entertaining musicianship. They perform with an upright bass, guitar, harmonica, clarinet and drums and vocals that won't quit. Get a taste with this video.
