It was a one-of-a-kind event for a one-of-a-kind team: Sarah Jessica Parker, Tim Lightbourne, and Rob Cameron — the dynamic trio behind the Invivo X, SJP range of wines — recently took over the New York Mets’ home turf Citi Field to blend the new vintage of their hugely acclaimed sauvignon blanc. #drinkpalmbay

One of the world’s premier consumer accolades, Robb Report's "Best of the Best" list honors the finest luxury products across 16 categories — including, of course, wine. In this year's 36th edition, judges selected Domaine Bertagna's Vougeot Blanc Premier Cru "Les Cras" 2021 to be a part of this prestigious list, and deservingly so. As reported by Robb Report correspondents Mike DeSimone and Jeff Jenssen, 2021 was indeed a tumultuous vintage in Burgundy — the worst proprietor Eva Reh can remember since joining her family's winery in 1988. But despite Mother Nature's varied stumbling blocks (freezing temps, hail, torrential rains), Eva and her team were able to craft an absolutely stunning expression of the Les Cras terroir. #drinkpalmbay

We’re thrilled to share that Matteo Bruno Lunelli, President and CEO of Ferrari Trento and CEO of Gruppo Lunelli, has been named a Cavaliere del Lavoro (Knight of Labor) by the President of the Italian Republic.    The Cavaliere del Lavoro award is one of Italy’s most prestigious honors, conferred every year on just 25 entrepreneurs for their significant contributions to the promotion of Italy’s national economy as well as for their high ethical and social commitments aimed at improving the country's living and working conditions.   “Receiving this prestigious award is a source of great pride for me, that I wish to share with all those who work and have worked with me,” says Lunelli. “At the same time, it confirms mine and my family’s commitment, together with all the women and men of Gruppo Lunelli, to work in harmony with the environment and in tune with the territory, maintaining the values of excellence and innovation in the wake of tradition.    “I am convinced that a company should not only create value for its shareholders, but also generate well-being, safety, and beauty for its employees and for the community that hosts it, putting people at the center. This recognition will be a further spur to continue working with passion to promote the Italian lifestyle in the world. A special thought goes out to my father Giorgio for the values and example he gave me, and a thank you to my uncle Gino Lunelli who passed on his entrepreneurial spirit to me.”   Congratulazioni, Matteo! #drinkpalmbay

World Paloma Day is May 22, which got us thinking about what's responsible for the rise of this simple, sessionable cocktail from Mexico — it's everywhere. Thanks to DC-based mixologist Chantal Tseng and The Shed Distillery Of PJ Rigney's own Cian Wrynne for contributing their thoughts. (And in Cian's case, a can't-miss Paloma cocktail with some "curious" ingredients ... ) #drinkpalmbay
