As Ever's 2023 Napa Valley Rosé kicks off the brand's expansion into wine, with a Méthode Champenoise Napa Valley sparkling wine planned for the near future. This rosé is a curated blend inspired by Provençal-style wines and sourced from Napa Valley. Its pale blush color offers roundness and depth, featuring gentle minerality and soft stone fruit notes with a lasting finish. The blend includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Mourvèdre, Grenache and Syrah varietals.
Priced at $30 a bottle and sold in sets of three bottles ($90), half case ($159), and full case ($300), the rosé is available for purchase exclusively at wine.asever.com.
Markle first announced the release of the rosé on June 20, accompanied by As Ever's summer drop, which introduced two new products: an Apricot Spread, priced at $9, and an Orange Blossom Honey, retailing at $28, which features floral notes and citrus undertones.
Markle launched the As Ever brand, a reconfiguration of her initial American Riviera Orchard label, in February.
''As ever' means 'as it's always been' or some even say 'in the same way as always,'' Markle wrote on her Instagram back then. 'If you've followed along since my days of creating The Tig, you'll know this couldn't be truer for me. This new chapter is an extension of what has always been my love language, beautifully weaving together everything I cherish — food, gardening, entertaining, thoughtful living and finding joy in the everyday.'

Is NYC's infamous Limelight club facing a new future?
Huge for-sale and for-lease signs have appeared outside an infamous New York City church. The striking Gothic Revival building at the corner of 20th Street and Sixth Avenue is one of Manhattan's most legendary shape-shifters — it has hosted a groundbreaking nightclub, a trendy shopping space, an edgy gym and a myriad of pop-ups over the decades. Now, it appears the deconsecrated church stands to sell or find a new tenant. Advertisement The Instagram account @newyorklocals shared photos of the advertisements earlier this week. 'Can someone please make this the Limelight again?' the caption asked, referring to the fabled turn-of-the-century nightclub. 11 The massive signage outside of the Sixth Avenue structure. Emily Davis/ Advertisement 11 The interior of the church under the tenancy of the Limelight, pictured in 1984. AP 11 Clubgoers enjoy a 'foam party' at the Limelight in 1995. Getty Images Before the site became an icon of '80s nightlife — or a den of drug-fueled iniquity, depending on who you ask — the Church of the Holy Communion was your typical Episcopalian place of worship, catering to Sixth Avenue's well-heeled WASPs 100 years before before the term even existed. The sprawling and asymmetrical stone facade was initially built in the mid-19th century. It was made a landmark by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1966. Advertisement The church emptied out as the neighborhood declined in the '60s and '70s, Curbed reported in 2016, leasing on the cheap to an academic research group and a rehabilitation center before it fell into the hands of a visionary nightclub owner, Peter Gatien. Gatien's Limelight — one of several clubs the Canadian businessman operated in the city — launched with a bang in 1983. Andy Warhol hosted opening night and the church's chapel space was used for foam parties, according to Curbed. 11 An archival image of the property.

AP 11 Madonna pictured attending a birthday party at the club in 1984. Patrick McMullan The Limelight's debaucherous atmosphere defined the most famous era of NYC rave culture, but it is widely reported that the business devolved into a drug-dealing hotspot. The club had close ties to the countercultural Club Kids, and the brutal murder and dismemberment of drug dealer Angel Melendez for which the club's promoter, the late Michael Alig, was convicted. Repeated crackdowns by the city proved too much for Gatien, who was plagued by his own legal issues. The final iteration of the Limelight shut its doors for good in 2010, and the club's gothic home went on to new but unlucky chapters in retail and fitness. In 2010, the site became a three-story boutique shopping destination for artisanal brands, but that endeavor lasted just a few years. Then it became a nightclub-themed gym, a French bistro and successive pop-ups. More recent plans sought to turn the church into a performance space. 11 A coal fired pizzeria inside the old church takes its name from the former club. Emily Davis/ Advertisement 11 Outdoor seating at the property's dim sum restaurant. Emily Davis/ Today, the giant red doors of the Church of the Holy Communion's main sanctuary are securely locked. The extremities of the once-sacred property are occupied by the Limelight Pizza NYC and Jue Lan Club, a dim sum restaurant. Employees of both establishments told The Post that their properties are separately operated from the main sanctuary. Two employees who spoke with The Post were unaware of any details regarding the sanctuary's current ownership or plans to find a new occupant. They confirmed that the sanctuary is currently vacant. City records indicate the entire parcel is owned by Mansion Realty LLC. The LLC is connected to Ben Ashkenazy's real estate firm, Ashkenazy Acquisition Corporation. Advertisement Despite the flashy adverts, no public listings for the enigmatic property have materialized. A representative for the company confirmed it owns the building, but parties privy to additional details on the potential sale/lease could not be reached by press time.

'Modern Family' star Aubrey Anderson-Emmons said she didn't expect the reaction she got when she came out as bisexual in June. 'I didn't even mean to come out, I just thought the video was really fun. I just thought it was kind of funny.

Kai Trump's 2021 Instagram Post Is Basically a Prequel to Her Mom's Tiger Woods Romance
When Kai Trump posted her first Instagram post on Feb. 23, 2021, she probably didn't have her mom, Vanessa Trump, in mind. The snapshot she shared was with her grandfather, Donald Trump, and Tiger Woods on the golf course. In case you didn't know, Kai, 18, is a talented golfer who is committed to playing the sport at the University of Miami beginning in the fall of 2026. She appeared to be about eight years old in the photo, which included the caption, 'Wishing Tiger luck and a speedy recovery. Also wishing his family all the best in these incredibly trying times. Get well soon! #goat #tigerwoods.' (You can see the photo here.) More from SheKnows Donald Trump's Granddaughter Kai Hits the Hamptons for a Lavish Summer Getaway With Mom Vanessa Trump Kai was reacting to Woods' serious single-car accident in Los Angeles after his SUV veered off the road at a high rate of speed. The injuries to his right leg required surgery and an extensive rehabilitation period. Still, the Trump family had no idea what was to come just three years later. Vanessa, the former wife of Donald Trump Jr., began dating the golfer in November 2024, and there have been rumors that her relationship with him is rather serious. The first hint fans got that Woods was all-in with Vanessa was a surprising Instagram post announcing his love for her. 'Love is in the air, and life is better with you by my side! We look forward to our journey through life together,' he wrote in March, along with several cozy snapshots. 'At this time, we would appreciate privacy for all those close to our hearts.' While some people think they are headed down the aisle, a source for the Daily Mail thinks that they are both OK with keeping marriage out of the equation. 'Cynically, why should she get married? There's no point of it, and it would just complicate her alimony from Donald [Trump Jr.],' the insider claimed in July. 'And Tiger, of course, paid out a lot in his divorce from Elin [Nordegren], and I don't think he's particularly excited to do that again.' Woods has always relegated his love life to last place after prioritizing his children, daughter Sam, 18, and son Charlie, 16, with whom he shares with Nordegren, and his golf career. 'If you know Tiger, you know that he's not the type to just get married at the drop of a hat,' the source continued. 'He has been with women for years and not done that. I think it would take a lot to get him to be a groom again.' Still, Kai's photo feels like it somehow predicted the future. Vanessa and Woods have a lot in common with their kids attending the same school together along with their family's love of golf. It's a match made in heaven, and maybe one day, Kai will get credit for subtly playing matchmaker years before this unexpected couple became the real of SheKnows Katy Perry Complete Dating History & Exes: Orlando Bloom, Justin Trudeau & More A Look Back at Martha Stewart's Incredible Life, From Her Early Modeling Career to Her Media Empire at 84 Join These 10 Celebrity Book Clubs & Read Along with Your Favorite Stars Solve the daily Crossword
