These Merlot Chocolate Cupcakes are the picture of elegant, chocolatey goodness. Fudgy chocolate cupcakes form the base of this red wine recipe. A pink Merlot buttercream frosting tops the cupcakes, creating a dessert that both looks and tastes terrific. Red wine and chocolate are a classic combination for a reason, and this dessert will remind you of how delicious these flavors can be. Use any Merlot you happen to have on hand, or choose a great bottle from our wine catalog. You can certainly use the leftover wine for sipping with your cupcakes.

Wow! I am intrigued. I bet the red wine will add the perfect flavor to these cupcakes!
