Although she’s suffering from a challenging third pregnancy, it seems there is no stopping Ayesha Curry. The restauranteur and culinary personality has just launched a wine label. Domaine Curry is a partnership between Ayesha and her sister-in-law, Sydel Curry. Sydel is Warriors basketball star Stephen Curry’s little sister. The Curry women have teamed up with John Schwartz of Napa’s Coup de Foudre winery.
Domaine Curry’s first release is the 2015 Femme 31 Cabernet Sauvignon. According to Ayesha’s Instagram account, the wine is a classic “big bold Napa Valley Cab.” She also explains that she and Sydel are “so proud of this venture and want to remind you that it represents all of the women in our family from the moms, grandmas, aunties, and sisters to the future generations our business will be passed down to. This is such a special moment for us, and we’re giving you only the finest, most delicious quality wine Napa has to offer.”

The Currys spent two years developing the wine with Coup de Foudre’s winemaker, Kent Jarman. It’s a balanced red that is designed to drink now or be aged for five or more years. The wine is available on Domaine Curry’s website for $89 a bottle. Curry isn’t the first celebrity to enter the world of winemaking. Basketball great Charles Barkley recently released his wine label and everyone from Drew Barrymore to John Legend has jumped on the wine bandwagon. No word on whether Ayesha plans to put Domaine Curry on the wine list at her restaurant, International Smoke, but the savvy businesswoman probably has this in mind. Cheers to Queen Curry!
