Cynthia Bailey Offers a Peak Into Wine Cooler Development Process Ahead of Winery Opening

As she continues to develop her own wine cellar, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Cynthia Bailey is also concocting her own signature flavor.

Bailey on Monday posted a series of videos on her Instagram page which gave fans a sneak peek into the development process. She’s putting together her own flavor of Seagram’s Escapes, giving an option to those who want to sip on wine coolers rather than the full-bodied wines.

“Think I am a natural at my new job tasting delicious @seagramsescapes flavors all day😂
I came up with a yummy combination for my signature flavor that you guys are going to love. Can’t wait for y’all to taste it😋 #yeslabcoat #seagramsescapes #comingsoon @thebaileywinecellar,” Bailey captioned her post.

“This is the keeper, I love the peach passionfruit rosé,” she says in one of the videos as she reviews various flavors. “And I think we’re gonna have to lose the peach mango sangria.”

Fans applauded Bailey’s hands-on business efforts.

“Yes, Cynthia! Love seeing your latest money moves! #yeslabcoat.”

“Can’t wait for the final product!! Thank you for being amazing to work with 💕”

“I can’t wait! @cynthiabailey10 Congratulations I don’t drink but I will try it! #Boss.”

“Yassss Go 51cynt @cynthiabailey10 I see ya multi-tasking in business Slay on Queen !!! I can’t wait to try.”

“Congrats, can’t wait 😀.”

“This is so cool! I love @seagramsescapes !!! Can’t wait, Cynthia!”

In July, Bailey announced plans to open her own wine bar called The Bailey Wine Cellar. It’s set to be located in Atlanta’s Grant Park neighborhood on Grant Street. Bailey announced the new business venture by showing off the design plans on Instagram.

An opening date for the cellar along with an announcement of when the supermodel’s Seagram’s Escapes flavor will drop has yet to be revealed. So far, Bailey’s only teased #comingsoon on her IG page.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
