The attendees of Wednesday evening’s (June 26) MusicRow Awards got a special surprise, as new Franklin, Tennessee resident and television personality Kathie Lee Gifford stopped by to greet the crowd.

Onstage, Gifford along with MusicRow Magazine owner/publisher Sherod Robertson and his MusicRow Awards co-host and media personality Alecia Davis treated themselves to a taste of Gifford’s new line of wine, GIFFT by Kathie Lee Gifford. The wine is a partnership between Gifford and Scheid Family Wines, which are 100% estate grown from Scheid’s vineyards in Monterey County, California.

Gifford has been collaborating on music with songwriter Brett James, among others.

“I’m happy,” she told attendees. “It’s this place. Everyone is so loving, and they love my wine. I’m blessed beyond belief. My dream job is what I’m doing right now. I can’t thank you enough for the welcome that I’ve received and the warmth.”

Supporting Sponsors of the event were Vaden Group | Elliott Davis, Creative Artists Agency (CAA) and Keller Turner Andrews & Ghanem, PLLC. Partner level sponsors include Ram Trucks and City National Bank.
