Mary J. Blige Launches Her Own Brand Of Wine
Mary J. Blige is expanding her amazing career by dipping into the wine industry.
The Grammy award-winning artist announced her new wine collection, Sun Goddess.
The 49-year-old singer collaborated with the Fantinel Winery — featuring a Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Grigio based on two of Mary’s favorite summer drinks.
In an interview with ESSENCE, Mary said creating a wine wasn’t originally at the top of head.
“One of [Maxwell’s] friends happened to be Marco Fantinel, from the Fantinel Winery. I was drinking white wine with them all night long, [the Fantinels] asked, ‘do you want to do a wine?’ I didn’t even hesitate.”
Mary said Sun Goddess is actually her nickname given by her sister.
The wine is available in New York and New Jersey, and consumers could also pre-order on wine.com.
Congratulations, Mary!
