RHONY OGs Step Out to Celebrate Dorinda’s Bourbon Brand
Ramona Singer and Luann de Lesseps were among the Bravolebrities who attended the brand’s promotional party.
It's no secret that Dorinda Medley loves a good party, and never fails to "make it nice.”
The Real Housewives of New York City alum returned to the Big Apple last week to host a promotional event for Bluestone Manor Bourbon, a premium whiskey brand she launched in 2021. The event took place June 7 at the NYC Hard Rock Hotel, where Dorinda celebrated her bourbon’s “beautiful new look” with friends and a few fellow Bravolebrities.

RHONY OGs Ramona Singer and Luann de Lesseps were among those who showed up to support Dorinda’s beverage venture and, of course, they did so in style. On June 8, Dorinda took to Instagram to share photos of her and the former ’Wives posing together at the event. Dorinda, who has never been afraid of a bold ensemble, chose to rock an eye-catching pantsuit by Kate Spade.
The two-piece set included slightly cropped pants and a notched lapel single-breasted blazer with an all-over patio-tile print. Dorinda finished the look with metallic open-toed heels, a chunky chain necklace, and a pair of gold earrings. She credited her hair and makeup to stylist Shanys Rodriguez and MUA Niko Maragos, respectively.
“Fantastic night celebrating [Bluestone Manor Bourbon,” the caption read. “Thank you [Hard Rock Hotel NYC] for hosting this beautiful evening.”
Ramona donned an A-line printed midi dress by Mestiza. The strapless piece featured a white-and-blue fan pattern, laser-cut lace construction, a boned bodice, as well as a scalloped hem and neckline. The Turtle Time co-host accessorized the dress with blue drop earrings, a pearl necklace, and white strappy heels.
Luann, on the other hand, opted for a much more minimal look. The “Feelin Jovani” singer wore a black sleeveless dress that featured a plunging V neckline with a twist detail and a small cutout at the bust. She complemented the cocktail dress with black pumps and a pearl double-C necklace.
Other attendees included The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Melissa Gorga and her husband, Joe Gorga.

The event also served as a celebratory send-off for the New York ladies, who are headed to Saint Barthélemy to film Season 5 of The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. They will be joined by fellow RHONY alumni Kelly Killoren Bensimon, Kristen Taekman, and Sonja Morgan. The latter will also appear in Luann & Sonja: Welcome to Crappie Lake, a fish-out-of-water reality series that premieres July 9 on Bravo.
“We are getting back together for eight days and we’ll have a ball. You never know what happens when you get our group together,” Dorinda told the Daily Mail about the RHONY Legacy season. “It is a great time for all the girls to be back together. We’ve all had a little bit of a break and we’ve allowed people to miss us. Now we can come back in full force and entertain with all of our craziness, quirkiness, everything that the audience loves.”
