An post on the As Ever Instagram reads: "Celebrating the woman behind it all.
"She pours her heart, vision & magic touch into every detail, and today, we raise a glass to her! Happy birthday to our founder."

She added: "We are pleased to share that our 2024 Napa Valley Rosé will be available for purchase next week."

It comes after it was revealed the brand's new Rosé will set back punters $30 a bottle and Meghan also plans to bring out a sparkling wine.
The 2023 Napa Valley Rosé is on sale via a new wine section on Meg's As Ever website.
The Rosé costs $30 (£21) a bottle, or in packs of three for $90 (£65), a half case for $159 (£115) and full case for $300 (£218).
It is being flogged on new website Wine.AsEver.com - where more booze will be added.

Meghan is set to reveal a sparkling wine among new wine varieties.
But the Rosé is described by As Ever as "a pale blush wine offers a roundness and depth of flavor that is complemented by gentle minerality and soft notes of stone fruit with a lasting finish".
REAL motive behind Harry & Meghan's 'peace talks' REVEALED - but it's a confused plan that won't work
They claim the tipple is an "As ever blend" which includes "Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvèdre, Grenache, and Syrah varietals".
The taste is described as "sophisticated, dry, and refreshing, it is designed for summer's best moments – from lunches that turn into dinners and sun-drenched weekends where the only thing louder than the music is the laughter".

"This blend captures the essence of celebration, inviting wine lovers to toast all the moments that matter most - both big and small."
When Meghan first announced her As Ever brand, it was embroiled in row after row over the trademark and logo.
For her first few items, the website sold a range of products from £11 jars of jam to £22 limited edition honey.
Within half-an-hour the range was out of stock, prompting Meghan to post on Instagram: "Our shelves may be empty, but my heart is full!"

Fans snapped up the £11 raspberry preserve, which is marketed as a "luscious fruit-forward spread" in "elegant keepsake packaging".
Meghan sent her jams to a number of celebrities who shared unboxing videos, including Kris Jenner and Zoe Saldaña.
She then decided to "just pause" restocking her As Ever brand after previously selling out in under an hour.

The Strictly Come Dancing fan favourite took to Instagram to make a huge career announcement. Strictly Come Dancing star, Gorka Marquez, has revealed that he won't be competing with a partner on the BBC show this year. The professional dancer, 34, will also be missing for a number of weeks from the series. Gorka, who has been a staple on Strictly since he joined the cast back in 2016, will now be taking a step back from the series but fans don't need to get too disappointed as the star is set to return towards the final. Announcing the news in an Instagram post to his 973k followers, Gorka revealed that he'll be taking on a role as a judge on the Spanish version of the show instead from September onwards. He took to Instagram to announce the news, writing: "I am happy to announce that I will be back for season two of BAILANDO CON LAS ESTRELLAS as a judge from September." Explaining why there will be a change in his role on Strictly this year, he added: "Due to the filming dates this means that I won't be competing with a partner this year in Strictly but I will be a part of lots of the group numbers and will be back for final weeks of the Show to support the rest of my fellow pros and their celebrities in what is going to be an AMAZING SERIES." Gorka concluded the post by thanking fans for all of "the love and support" as he added:"And remember! Keep dancing!!!" Fans raced to the comments section as they reacted to the news.

'It's the most expensive house in Prestbury on Rightmove but it appears the market's a bit flat right now.' Paddy and Christine announced their split in 2022 and finalised their divorce last year. Christine has said: 'We live in separate parts of the house.' Paddy said the family's living arrangement 'doesn't feel tricky'.

Gregg Wallace gushes over ‘beautiful' wife on romantic anniversary picnic as MasterChef makes controversial return
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GREGG Wallace called himself a "very lucky man" as he celebrated his ninth wedding anniversary today with "beautiful" wife Anna. The axed MasterChef star, 60, returned to Hever Castle, Kent, with Anne-Marie, 38, for a romantic picnic on the same day the latest series of the BBC cooking show controversially returned to screens featuring both of its fired hosts. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Gregg Wallace celebrated his wedding anniversary today with wife Anne-Marie Credit: Instagram 4 They enjoyed a picnic at Hever Castle Credit: Instagram Series 21 was filmed before a report into Wallace's behaviour upheld 45 historical allegations of misconduct over a 17 year period. As part of the investigation Wallace's co-star John Torode was alleged to have used a racist term, though he maintains he did not. Today, Wallace, who is now marketing himself as a personal trainer, was all smiles as he filmed himself and Anna by the side of a lake. He said: "Hello, it's our wedding anniversary. How many years, Anna?" She replied: "Nine." The couple then giggled as they struggled to recall if they'd been together for 12 or 13 years. Wallace continued: "The theme is willow, so we've got a picnic basket and we're at Hever Castle because it's here we got married. "Look at this scene for a picnic. Beautiful setting, beautiful wife. I'm a very lucky man." One follower commented: "Happy faces for a happy anniversary - I bet it was a lovely picnic too." Another said: "Lovely location for a wedding anniversary picnic." Shamed Gregg Wallace says 'I'm no groper, sex pest or flasher,' as tearful star refuses to accept blame for BBC sacking A third posted: "Lovely location for a wedding anniversary picnic." Those who tuned into MasterChef today on BBC iPlayer noticed the show had been edited to minimise the amount of banter between hosts Torode and Wallace. As the six amateur cooks made their first dishes for the pair, viewers noted how their usual breezy interactions were virtually non-existent. Prior to the show airing, contestant Sarah Shafi, from Leeds, revealed how she was allegedly offered the opportunity to be edited out of the series after claiming it shouldn't be broadcast. Ms Shafi, 57, told the Guardian: 'I didn't say edit me out. 'I said: 'Axe the show, don't air the show. I'm asking you not to air the show.' Prominent figures have been abusing their power. "What message does that send out to women?" MasterChef facts MASTERCHEF has been a staple BBC series for years - but what are the key details? MasterChef launched on BBC One back in 1990 It ran until 2001, then was revived in 2005 as MasterChef Goes Large John Torode joined the revamped series in 2005, where he teamed up with Gregg Wallace as hosts Controversial moments? In March 2018, Gregg refused to judge Zaleha Kadir Olpin's stewed chicken rendang dish as he claimed it was 'not crispy enough and could not be eaten.' Ms Sharif alleged there was an "enabling environment" and a pattern of "institutions not being accountable". She also claimed there was a "heated conversation" when she tried to voice her opinions with a producer. Once the corporation confirmed the season was going ahead, Ms Sharif agreed to be edited out. The Sun contacted a representative for MasterChef for comment. 4 MasterChef returned today with Gregg Wallace and John Torode 4 Six new amateur chefs entered the MasterChef kitchen on tonight's episode Credit: BBC THE AXE FALLS Wallace was the first of the two hosts to be sacked back on July 10, with the BBC citing that they doubted his ability to change 'learned behaviour' as a reason for his axing. The report concluded that Gregg, who was diagnosed as autistic midway through the investigation, "struggled to distinguish the boundaries between appropriate and inappropriate behaviour in the workplace.' The findings also referenced reputational damage to the Corporation in light of comments Wallace has made about it since he was taken off air. Wallace has hosted MasterChef alongside Torode since 2005 and has also fronted other BBC programmes including Inside the Factory and Supermarket Secrets. In late 2024, it was reported that the BBC had been made aware of complaints dating back to 2017, while it was claimed that a letter had been sent to the broadcaster in 2022 stating that women had been made to feel 'uncomfortable' in his presence. However, he has been cleared of the most serious allegations, including those made by high profile names including Kirsty Wark and Penny Lancaster. GREGG BACKS CO-STAR In an explosive sit down interview with The Sun, Wallace said that he was not a 'groper, a sex pest or a flasher'. He also backed Torode, insisting: 'He is not a racist.'
