Mary J. Blige was spotted at a VIP dinner for 10 to launch her new wine brand, Sun Goddess, at Brooklyn Chop House.

The eatery’s co-owner Don Pooh told us of the affair: “No celebrities attended, only business heavyweights… Mary went all the way to Italy to do research on wines,” in collaboration with Fantinel Winery.

“She is serious about this new business venture. It’s not just her name on the product.” The decor was black and gold, with yellow roses.
