Drew Barrymore's Tips On How To Throw An Awesome Party

Drew Barrymore wears many hats: The lady is bonafide Hollywood royalty, a savvy makeup mogul, and mom to two adorable babies. Oh, did we mention that she's also our editor-at-large? Seriously, you'd be hard-pressed to find a better multitasker in this town.

Her latest venture has the oenophiles in us squealing: She's releasing a Pinot Grigio varietal after teaming up with Carmel Road, a Californian vineyard. The crisp and fruity wine, Barrymore by Carmel Road, is available online for $14.99 per bottle.

With her down-to-earth and bubbly personality, it goes without saying that Drew would make a pretty awesome party host. She was rather humble about her abilities in her first R29 column, but our theory was confirmed when she rocked at hosting our Tinseltown holiday party in LA.

We got up-close and personal with Drew at the roundtable tasting of her new product, and we learned all of her secrets to entertaining. Click ahead for five excellent tips on how to keep calm while throwing a legendary shindig. Your guests are going to be so impressed.
