Glug, Glug, Glug! Given that she was in rehab by the time she was
14, it seems more than a little ironic that Drew Barrymore has started up her own brand of wines; even more surprising is that Barrymore’s Pinot Grigio brand hailing from the Triveneto region of Italy was “created to honor her family.” Um, most of them were raging alcoholics, so I’m not sure why she didn’t name the wine “Barrymore vin de Irony.” But seriously folks, a big thumbs-up to her, as a portion of the wine’s proceeds go to charity. As if Hollywood power coupleAngelina Jolie and
Brad Pitt didn’t have enough on their respective plates—or rather in their cup-runneth-over Baccarat wine glasses—with a large brood to attend to and movies to be made, they have recently added vinter to their résumés. Produced on their meager 150-acre vineyard, at
the couple’s ramshackle $60 million South of France estate Chateau Miraval—insert eye-rolls and sarcasm here—their Miraval Rosé initial 6,000-bottle run sold out within five hours. Uh oh, that means that their six children better get to stompin’, cuz holy World War Z, those grapes ain’t gonna stomp themselves. And anyway, isn’t free child labor why people have large families? Apparently Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie was
a big fan of the ’80s prime time soap Falcon Crest, because her wine is named Ferguson Crest. Rather than partnering up with sexy Lorenzo Lamas as a part of the vino venture, Fergie Ferg has enlisted the help of her papa to create a 2010 Syrah; a red with hints of black pepper, cassis, chocolate and graphite—which
Cocktails alcohol brand, which includes tequila, cos- mos and mojitos, into a bona fide boozy success— too bad the same can’t be said for her struggling self-titled talk show. To add to the mix, she recently launched a bevy, or should I say a Bethenny, of low- calorie wines, which includes a Prosecco described as “a bubbly mix of light and crisp, of sass and class…” sounds just like the lady herself—well at least for the most part. Hollywood hunk Richard Gere has lent his name
to a Tuscan wine label, which, not unlike the Jolie- Pitts, is named after a property he owns. In this case, that would be his Relais & Chateaux property Bedford Post in New York and the wine is an exclusive brand of Brunello produced by Tenuta San Filippo di Mon- talcino. All I know is that he should have named it after himself, seeing as he is aging just like a fine wine.
So, there you have it, a perfect way to have a
gives it a rocky flavor I suppose. Her signature brand Fergalicious, a blended red, combines Cabernet Sau- vignon, Syrah, Grenache and Merlot for a spicy/fruity bouquet. Sounds delish and to quote her song of the same name, “I’m Fergalicious (t-t-t-t-t-tasty, tasty).” Bethenny Frankel, another doyenne from the Real Housewives franchise, has turned her Skinny Girl
nosh or a slosh like a celebrity pro; and if you are feeling extra brave in your mealtime deci- sions, by all means check out rapper 2Chain’s cookbook The B.O.A.T.S II, which includes a recipe for “Me Time Sauce.” I shall leave you fellow foodies with that tantalizing little tidbit of food for thought.
