Corned Beef Cupcakes, Meet Napa Valley Wine Makers and The Worlds Largest Woman (almost) in Today's Eater's Digest

An early morning serving of food news, with no preservatives or additives.

If you're a wine aficionado or maybe just a wanna-be Sommelier of sorts then you won't want to miss "Men Behind the Vines - Napa's Next of Kin" at Sanctuary on Camelback March 24th. The night kicks of with a champagne reception followed by wine tastings with winemakers Rob Mondavi, Oscar Renteria, and Chris Hall. Next, enjoy cuisine and wine pairing with Chef Beau Macmillan. Tickets are extremely limited. The cost is $125.00. Call 480-607-2300 for reservations.

For the rest of the month of March you can enjoy a three course meal at Sassi in Scottsdale for only $35 per person with an optional wine pairing for an extra $25. Click here to see the menu.

Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day and what better way to celebrate then with a delicious batch of Corned Beef and Cabbage Cupcakes. These sound so, um, appetizing? Made with a cup of stout, ground corned beef, some other not-very-cupcake-like ingredients and then, topped off with malt vinegar cabbage frosting. Let's see if Bakerella makes a cake pop outta these guys!
