JESS DRUEY
I’m Jess, the founder of Whiny Baby! I am 26 years old and recently moved back to my hometown of Bakersfield, CA (about 2 hours outside of LA) to be closer to my wine operations. I love small-town living and am passionate about reimagining the wine-drinking experience for our generation. I believe that magic is made through community and over a shared bottle of wine!
1. What Event would you love to attend?
The Met Gala, duh!
2. What are your hosting must haves?
I always try to make sure there is an interactive activity or game and a dress code. The best hosts create a magical world for people to step into for a period of time!
4. I can’t go to a party without…
A bottle of Whiny Baby! The perfect hostess gift!

Glennon Doyle, Jimmy Fallon, Michelle Obama, Travis Kelce, Princess Diana, Adele, Nicole Kidman.
