Is Drew Barrymore Trying To Be The Next Bethenny Frankel?
Drew Barrymore may be following in Bethenny Frankel’s footsteps. Drew is launching a brand of wine called Barrymore Pinot Grigio and it is set to go on sale next month in New York. It will cost $20 a bottle. Bethenny in addition to her Skinnygirl Margarita and Sangria is also launching a brand of Pinot Grigio and announced it a few months ago.
Barrymore Pinot Grigio will probably not reach Skinnygirl status anytime soon, considering Frankel has the number one growing spirits brand in the country, but it sounds like Drew is very passionate about this project. Niccolo Salvadori, a partner in SGC Group, the official licensee for Barrymore Wines, told the New York Post that the star has been working on the project for the past two years. “She herself is a pinot grigio drinker, and she created a wine reflecting her style,” he said. “Drew made numerous trips to Italy, spent time with the facility and was involved with the wine at every level.” More »

Bethenny Frankel Has Built An Empire And Brand With Her Candid Personality
It has been an interesting week for Bethenny. Her show, Bethenny Ever After, premiered last night on Bravo but yesterday she revealed on The Today Show that she recently had a miscarriage. Why so much honesty? The miscarriage was not revealed on the show so she did not have to share it with the world but she chose to. “I have thought about other women more than myself,” she continued on Today. “I can’t believe what people must go through if they can’t even have the one. … You go through a roller coaster of emotions about it.” She is also very candid and honest about her marriage. “When I decided to do television, I decided to really go there,”Frankel told Forbes‘ Meghan Casserly. “And once you go there, you can’t come back and be only sort of yourself.” But this strategy of being completely open is working for Frankel as a personality and a brand.
