What lady Gaga drinks in Wine Country? FigCello from HelloCello!

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!

The international pop star Lady Gaga ate and drank her way through Sonoma over the weekend. Gaga and her BF went to Girl and The Fig in Sonoma for lunch, where they ate mussels, salads with beets and figs, a Croque Monsieur with egg, and steak frites during a late Sunday afternoon lunch at the bar. This meal included a Fig Kiss cocktail which features FigCello di Sonoma liqueur made locally in Sonoma by HelloCello, (that’s us!)

What happens when you take delicious American Bourbon and age it in Carneros pinot noir barrels for nine months? Magic apparently. In the age of wine-cask enhanced Bourbon, Fred Groth from Hello Cello in Sonoma County has emerged victorious over his peers. The Hooker’s House Bourbon, paying homage to General Hooker and his history of whiskey drinkin’ in the Bay Area, succeeds where so many other cask-enhanced whiskies fail. It never tastes gimmick-y, but rather adds addition flavor to a Bourbon that already tasted great. The red fruits from the pinot noir add delicious cherries and richness to the palate, a flavor that sometimes occurs in Bourbon anyway due to commerical yeasts. In this case it tastes entirely natural. The texture is soft and supple. The style is utterly appealing. We all loved it immediately. The price is also right for what you’re getting. This should give Black Maple Hill and Breaking & Entering some serious competition. Oh, and for Manhattans, I can only imagine how lovely that cherry flavor is going to blend with sweet vermouth. -David Driscoll, K&L Spirits Buyer
