Nothing pairs better with a summer meal than a chilled bottle of wine. Mary J. Blige knows that's true, and is releasing a line of wines called "Sun Goddess" that will brighten up your day with every sip.
The collection of wines was curated by Mary and Fantinel Winery, a famous Italian wine grower. Sun Goddess was announced on Mary's Instagram page this morning, where she wrote that she's been working on this project for three years to make it perfect.
Mary's inspiration for the name "Sun Goddess" came from a nickname her mother gave her when she was young, according to The Drinks Business. "Sun Goddess struck me as the perfect name as it conveys the connection between nature and the personality of wines I enjoy the most," she said.
So far, the Sun Goddess collection includes two wines, a pinot grigio ramato (similar to rosé) and a sauvignon blanc. The rosé features peach, melon, and blackberry notes while the sauvignon blanc has tropical and spicy notes of yellow bell pepper, banana, and melon, Wine.com explains.
Both bottles sell for $19.99 and are available for preorder in New York and New Jersey via Wine.com starting today. The nationwide launch is set for August, although there's no exact date confirmed just yet. Until then, you can stream some Mary J. Blige classics and try out some other celebrity wines to see which one is your favorite—that is, your favorite only until the Sun Goddess launch in August. Duh.
