I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS unusual mash-up: Giorgio Gucci (grandson of THE Gucci) is celebrating the 10th anniversary of his Giorgio G branded fashion line with the launch of four limited edition premium Cognacs. Emperor Brands, the parent company behind the Cognac, is throwing a party to celebrate in the form of a charity gala called "Night of Italian Glamour." At the event, Gucci will receive an "Entrepreneurship Award" from...Emperor Brands. Meanwhile, the often reticent Mickey Rooney will walk the red carpet with reality stars from Real Housewives of New York City and Bravo's Exposure. Will he recognize these "actors?" I'm not certain.
Guests will have the opportunity to sample (and buy) the Cognacs, or enjoy Champagne and a variety of Emperor's Brand vodkas. If you opt to purchase, the Cognacs run between $1,000 and $3,000 a bottle, depending on vintage, according to the company.
