Marvina Robinson desired her own brand of champagne to serve as the private house label for her upcoming champagne bar. In order to achieve that goal, she worked with a vineyard in France to create Stuyvesant Champagne. The first tasting of Stuyvesant Champagne was hosted by Suite 607 located in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.

Marvina has a zest for life and travels and hopes to bring a taste of home, spice and culture to the Champagne community. She is one of the few African American women owning a Champagne brand. Her love for her hometown, Bedford-Stuyvesant (Brooklyn, NY), inspired the name of her brand, Stuyvesant Champagne.

She invites you to raise a glass and toast to the freshness of family and beginnings of a strong and fruitful relationship.

Maria del Carmen Flores was the oldest of 12 children and was born and raised in El Salvador where she started selling tostadas, pupusas, fresh fruit with chili and salt alongside her mother when she was six years old. Over the next 30 years, she lived all over Central America, mastering the local cuisine in El Salvador, Guatemala and Oaxaca, Mexico and selling snacks on the street to make a living.

Estrellita's Snacks is a Salvadoran food company specializing in Pupusas, Tamales, and Tostadas. The company was born in San Francisco's Mission District, where Maria del Carmen began selling her freshly fried plantain and yucca chips to local business owners and families that missed the taste and crunch of tostadas from El Salvador.

Maria has been producing her food in the La Cocina kitchen since 2005, with the help of her children and her children's children. The company name is derived from Estrella, which means star in Spanish and is also the name of her daughter and granddaughter.
