KATHIE LEE GIFFORD LAUNCHES GIFFT WINES IN STAMFORD

By May 3, 2014Connecticut, Top News

Kathie Lee Gifford and Frank Gifford signed bottles and met fans at BevMax Liquors in Stamford on March 28, 2014. Gifft Wines is a partnership between three-time Emmy award winning television personality Kathie Lee Gifford and Scheid Family Wines of Monterey, California. They are producing two wines — a 2012 Chardonnay and a 2011 Red Blend. Gifford said of the line, “It’s well-documented that I’m a wine lover so when I started talking to the Scheid family about making a wine, it felt like the most natural thing in the world.”
