Issa Rae has just launched her new Prosecco brand, Viarae Wines, and it’s incredible! Partnering with California-based E. & J. Gallo Winery, known for brands like Barefoot Bubbly and La Marca, Viarae Wines is intended to be a fun treat for any occasion.
In addition to creating hit shows like “Awkward Black Girl” and “Insecure” and owning an LA coffee shop, Hilltop Coffee+Kitchen, Rae continues to prove she’s a Renaissance woman with her latest wine venture.
Fashion Bomb CEO Claire Sulmers joined Issa Rae to celebrate, wearing a red Ricki Brazil knit dress. Rae looked stylish in a chocolate brown bodycon dress, gold jewelry, and auburn curls. Both ladies, who share the same birthday, enjoyed dancing and sipping on Viarae Prosecco, made from 100% Glera grapes and produced in Northern Italy.
Rae expressed her excitement on Instagram, saying, “If you know me, you know how much I love Prosecco. Now I’ve created my own! Introducing Viarae Prosecco, a sparkling wine for good times.”
The event also saw the arrival of designer LaQuan Smith, who wore a mahogany brown turtleneck, a chocolate leather jacket, and medium-wash jeans, finishing the look with printed boots. Actress and singer Cynthia Erivo rocked a black blazer and graphic tee paired with a chunky silver necklace and bold makeup. Football star Antonio Brown opted for a stylish black outfit with bantu knots adorned with gold clips.
Everyone had a fantastic time, and it was wonderful to see so many celebrities supporting Issa Rae’s new venture.
