MARTHA STEWART - STEWART'S WINE AMBITIONS

Lifestyle queen MARTHA STEWART is set to lend her name to a new range of wines. The star has signed a deal with Californian wine giants Ernest + Julio Gallo, which will see 15,000 cases of the drink being made under the Stewart brand. According to her company, Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia, the cases of wine will initially be shipped to a limited number of cities - including Boston, Massachusetts; Denver, Colorado, and Ohio - where her fan base has its widest reach. Earlier this year (07), Stewart launched a home accessories range with U.S department store MACy's, and has designed houses which will bear the Martha Stewart brand.
