Recap: National Rosé Day Event at Trophy Cupcakes

To celebrate National Rosé Day, two amazing local brands came together on Saturday, June 13th for a special collaborative event at University Village. Trophy Cupcakes x Gigi’s Garden, by Browne Family Vineyards, partnered for a pop-up featuring free rosé tastings and handcrafted macarons infused with Gigi’s Garden Rosé.  Guests enjoyed special rosé tastings and discounts on sweet treats, including a free macaron with the purchase of a bottle of wine, plus 20% off of bottles of Gigi’s Garden with a 6-pack of Trophy macarons. 

Flavor Notes:

Gigi’s Garden Macaron

A dreamy little bite inspired by the beauty of Gigi’s Garden Rosé from Browne Family Vineyards ~ our favorite summer wine, now available at Trophy Cupcakes in bottle and macaron form. Each delicate macaron is printed with the pretty florals from the Gigi’s Garden bottle, brushed with rosé, and filled with rosé-kissed buttercream with notes of raspberry and a bright key lime center. The flavors bloom together beautifully, echoing the wine’s sunlit citrus notes, soft berry sparkle, and garden-party charm.

Gigi’s Garden Rosé

Aromas of citrus blossom lead to flavors of cranberry, gooseberry, and raspberry. Bright acidity boosts the fruit on the finish, bringing forward notes of raspberry and key lime. A slight sweetness and ultra-sound tannins round out the palate. Chill this wine down and pair with vegetable trays, hard cheese, and fresh fruit bowls. This Rosé is refreshing and also pairs well with salads and light appetizers. 

Blend

62% Grenache, 33% Sangiovese, 5% Pinot Gris

Gigi’s Garden Macarons by Trophy are elegant, playful, and made for summer celebrations. Available now through August at Trophy Cupakes. Pair with a bottle of Gigi’s Garden Rosé, officially named as Trophy’s “Rosé of the summer”, stocked daily at the shop through the end of the season.
