Katie Maloney has had a fire lit under her ass lately. Her Witches of Weho wine is relaunching, making her a businesswoman twice over.
Katie Maloney And Kristen Doute Back In Business
The frenemies are relaunching their old alcohol brand, Witches of Weho, just in time to capitalize off Sandoval! The reality stars announced the news today on Instagram by showing off the new bottle, label, and look.
"*who's ready for @witchesofweho wine to relaunch (*who is)," wrote Kristen Doute on IG, unsure of the correct spelling. She shared a follow-up post and tagged co-owner Maloney. The caption on the picture reads, "did you miss us? Whose ready for the witches of Weho wine relaunch?!"
The girls are starting with a smooth Pinot Grigio, and who knows where it will go from there! In addition to posting the bottle, Maloney hopped on IG Story to share a little message with her followers.
"So remember when there was that wine that we did? It was called Witches of Weho wine; there was something called potion No.1, a pinot grigio; it was delicious," she bigs up the wine that flopped in earlier renditions.
Katie Maloney Get To The Point Already
The message seemed to go on forever… "Well, what if I to you, you could get it again, and you can get it right now, and it looks something like this," Maloney holds up an actual live bottle of the pinot.
"what would you say," she asks her followers dramatically. "You should tap the link and get it right now because you can." Maloney comes off as bitter and cynical as the message goes on. "To tears of your exes," she says with a smile. She holds up the bottle one last time before ending the video.
Over on Doute's IG page, she too is equating wine to the "tears of your exes" as she encourages anyone interested to tap the link.
OG fans of Vanderpump Rules will recall that Maloney, Doute, and former co-star Stassi Schroeder started the wine brand a while back. Once the friendship began to crumble, Schroeder wanted out badly and eventually made that happen.
Maloney also wanted out, and both women were over their friendship with Doute for several reasons, one of the biggies being Doute's boyfriend at the time, Carter, and their toxic relationship.
Once the women called it quits, the wine brand suffered tremendously for apparent reasons, but it looks like it's back now, minus Schroeder.
Katie Maloney Is Part Owner In A Sandwich Shop
This is the busiest Maloney has been since, ever. In the past, she has been piggybacking off of her ex-husband Tom Schwartz's business, and her blog and makeup line, "Pucker & Pout," had no follow-through and disappeared after season 6.
This season, we see Maloney and Ariana Madix secure a location for their sandwich shop "Something About Her," There is a general assumption among fans that it might happen because someone else is involved.
Now that she has relaunched this wine and it's available, it's a step in a positive direction for all her other business ventures.
