How Chicago Women Sip the NFL Draft
Wine Channel TV hosts Female-Focused NFL Draft Viewing Event featuring Bentley Mulsanne Speed, Laurent-Perrier and Vince Camuto.
CHICAGO, April 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- 51 years ago the NFL draft took place in Chicago.
No women in the audience. No women reporters. We're not sure how many women watched the NFL at that time. Fast forward to 2015; the NFL draft returns to Chicago. Chicago women have embraced the NFL Draft in their own style.
Jessica Altieri, CEO of Wine Channel TV Network, an online wine lifestyle network with over 350K+ wine enthusiasts, wanted to create a "female focused" NFL Draft Viewing event. The 30-year-old media executive wanted to find the right venue for a "Sips.Suits.Stilettos.", NFL Draft Wine Lifestyle themed event. Jessica turned to a female business colleague, Trish Perillo Inguagiato, Managing Director, Perillo Motor Cars Inc. in Chicago which features luxury auto brands including BMW, Bentley, Rolls Royce, Maserati, Lamborghini and Bugatti. Wheels were put in motion to create a charity event, benefitting the Girls in the Game Organization. Girls in the Game provides and promotes sports and fitness opportunities to enhance the overall health and well-being of girls.
The event will feature an exclusive launch viewing of the 2015 Bentley Mulsanne Speed. And yes, you could watch the NFL Draft from the backseat of the Bentley. A frosted glass bottle cooler, complete with custom crystal champagne flutes is installed behind the rear armrest.
The event will feature wine lifestyle "Sip Stations" featuring Laurent-Perrier, Villa Maria, St. Supery, Landmark, Primus, Chamisal and Purity Vodka; "Pop-Up Fashion" from Vince Camuto and a "Sound Experience" with a Gramovox where you can use any bluetooth-enabled device to stream nostalgia and experience the vintage, organic sound of a gramophone; "Small Bites" from bellyQ, prepared by Chef Bill Kim; and "Smartphone Sips" featuring Drizly, a technology company powering fast, convienent delivery of beer, wine and alcohol to consumers. Post event "Wine Fan" reaction will be featured on Yahoo Sports Radio.
