The Emmys has announced its official drinks partners for the big night on September 22.
Ferrari Trento, crowned both the Sparkling Wine Producer of the Year 2019 at the Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships and the Producer of the Year 2019 by the Gambero Rosso Italian wine guide, makes its fifth appearance as the official sparkling wine of Emmy Awards season. Governors Ball guests will toast with a choice of sparklers, including the World Champion Blanc de Blancs Ferrari Brut; the Ferrari Brut Rosé, a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir; and an array of vintage offerings.
For the fourth consecutive year, Treasury Wine Estates’ Napa Valley winery Sterling Vineyards will return as the Official Wine of the 71st Emmy Awards season. Emmy nominees, presenters and members of the Television Academy will celebrate with its 2017 Sterling Vineyards Napa Valley Chardonnay, 2017 Sterling Vineyards Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc and 2016 Sterling Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
Governors Ball guests will enjoy a tasting of its 2015 Sterling Vineyards Platinum Cabernet Sauvignon; and, as a special gift, winners announced at the September 22 telecast will receive a personalised bottle of the winery’s flagship 2015 Sterling Vineyards Iridium Cabernet Sauvignon.
“Sterling Vineyards is honored to share in the recognition of television excellence and outstanding creative talent, and we look forward to toasting this year’s Emmys winners with these exceptional wines,” said Senior Vice President of Marketing at Treasury Wine Estates, Brett Scallan.
“This year in particular, marks the end of some of television’s most esteemed series such as Game of Thrones, Empire, Veep, and The Big Bang Theory, making the evening even more special and giving us all the more reason to raise a glass in their honor.”
Ketel One Family-Made Vodka, is the official spirits partner of the 2019 Governors Ball events.
Award-winning bartender Charles Joly has crafted a cast of official Emmy cocktails, including The Dapper Dragon (a playful yet sophisticated combination of exotic fruit and spice), The Moonlighter (pineapple juice, cold brew and banana chai foam), The Helmsman (a non-alcoholic number featuring citrus, papaya and coconut) and Marvelous Mule (a twist on a classic mule).
In addition to the official Emmys cocktails, attendees will also enjoy a selection of spirits from the Diageo Reserve collection.
Fiji Water will return for the sixth consecutive year as the official water partner of the 71st Emmy Awards Red Carpet and Governors Ball. Guests will stay hydrated on the red carpet and throughout the evening with individual bottles of Fiji Water.
Last year, the Fiji Water girl stole the show from many of the celebrities on the red carpet.
Ad Week noted: “Since the start of the Globes, the hashtag #FijiWaterGirl has been used nearly 7000 times (and counting) on Twitter, earning a whooping 98.9 million impressions on the platform, according to Brandwatch. (And the lesser-used hashtag, #FijiGirl, nabbed an additional 698,000.) And even on a night full of big stars, sentimental speeches and viral moments, the only other hashtag that earned more impressions during the Globes than #FijiWaterGirl was the #GoldenGlobes hashtag itself.”
