Learn how this Hollywood royalty created her own line of expressive wines

By Taylor Smith

Drew Barrymore might be described as a “life enthusiast.” The famous actress balances being a wife, mother of two, filmmaker, author, bosswoman (in the best sense of the word), and beauty mogul with her new passion - wine. As she puts it, “memories are made around the table.”

A fan of fruity white wines, Drew has entered into a collaboration with Carmel Road, a family-owned company that has deep roots in California. Carmel Road focuses on expressive wines with unique personalities, and they bring that same spirit to Barrymore Pinot Grigio. Carmel Road Winemaker Kris Kato worked closely with Drew to create a unique flavor profile that is winning rave reviews amongst wine enthusiasts. The 2013 Barrymore by Carmel Road Pinot Grigio is bright and crisp with flavors of lemon drop, Asian pear, and honeydew melon. The wine pairs well with a multitude of food, from gnocchi to Caprese salad.

Drew made her wine even more personal by using her grandfather’s crest as the face of the brand. The elegant logo looks as good on a shelf as it does in your fridge, and comes across as graphically quite original.
