Lady Gaga is Gaga for FigCello di Sonoma

International celebrity Lady Gaga dined and drank her way through Sonoma’s Wine Country Last weekend. Surrounded by world class wines what did the pop icon drink? Lady Gaga was seen enjoying FigCello di Sonoma in the signature cocktail the “Fig Kiss” at the girl & the Fig restaurant.

FigCello di Sonoma is a locally crafted specialty spirit produced by Sonoma Valley based micro-distillery, HelloCello. What started as a pet project to produce a new liqueur from handpicked figs and 16 botanicals has developed a local cult following by mixologists, chefs, fans and now Lady Gaga. HelloCello produces award winning spirits including Limoncello di Sonoma, FigCello di Sonoma, BelloCello and Hooker’s House Bourbon. Lady Gaga’s proves that there is more to wine country than wine. HelloCello is the spirited side of wine country!
