Comedian, actress and entrepreneur Amy Huberman has added another string to her bow by launching her own branded wine.
Named, Ah Wines, the mother-of-three and wife of former International rugby ace and TV pundit Brian O’Driscoll is working closely with winemakers in Spain’s Comunidad Valenciana to create Ah Sauvignon Blanc and Ah Cava Brut Rosé.
The 46-year-old Dublin native shared the news launch on her official Instagram page and explained: "An absolute pinch me moment to be just days away from launching Ah Wines… Our business has grown from a little grape seed over the last three years right up today; just days away from launching and I couldn’t be prouder of the incredible team involved, or more excited to pop open the bottles and share with you all!”
Also having her own shoe brand, the Finding Joy comedy series actress added: “The story started over many discussions of all things bubbles.
"Hit me up with a glass of champers all you like but we spoke about how ‘special occasion’ and spendy that can often be. Also talking with friends about how a lot of people can find Prosecco on the sweeter side.
“I’ve always loved cava as a drier, more accessible tipple. Tastes more along the lines of champagne but with a bit more [cash] leftover. And here we are today, just a few days away from introducing Ah, Cava Brut-Rosé.”
Pointing out a fun feature on her bottles, she continued: ‘Ah, a beginning. The rest is yours to fill in. We are so excited about our bottle label too, as you can write on it. Very fun when gifting.
"You can write any number of funny, kind, sentimental, obscure sentiments to surprise and/or delight your friends or loved ones with when calling over with a bottle of wine.”
Costs range from €17.95 to €24.95.
