From the Reserves
Social gridlock reigned at the 500-acre San Ysidro Ranch when billionaire Beanie Baby owner Ty Warner threw a launch bash for more than 150 guests for his new tequila SYR x Código Ty Warner Reserve.
The new heady libation, produced in Amatitán, Jalisco, is aged in French white wine barrels from one month to six years. There were only 111 bottles produced that can be purchased and consumed at the hotel. It sells for $24 an ounce or $125 a bottle.
Among those indulging in the scrumptious canapés, Beluga caviar and blinis, and myriad tequila concoctions at the Merryl Brown-organized bash were singer Kanye West and his scantily clad wife Bianca Censori, Jane Lynch, Belle Hahn, leather clad magazine mogul Jennifer Smith, Lucy Firestone, Casey Williams, Michael Bollag, tourism executive Karna Hughes and hostelry manager Ian Williams.
