zooey deschanel – she’s just like wine!
Confession: I am not a fan of sitcoms. They are usually SO lame, and I’m probably the only girl who didn’t like Friends. But lately I’m getting turned around with Modern Family and this season’s The New Girl. Zooey Deschanel is just so freaking adorable and I actually laugh and now have it DVR’d! Other … Continue reading »
do i need to get into basketball?
Kind of digging these Knicks! Mike Bibby and Baron Davis (never heard of them) had dinner with Amar’e Stoudemire (heard of him, but couldn’t have told you he played for the Knicks) at Lure Fishbar last week. There were a bunch of other players there plus La La who is like everywhere any time there’s something bball-related … Continue reading »
chateau du weinstein
I love popcorn action flicks, and will defend Twister, Con Air and any Simpson Bruckheimer movie without hesitation. But when you ditch the cool effects and paint by numbers plots and go outside of the system, everyone gets all that great funky, quirky stuff - Pulp Fiction, Scream, Trainspotting. And that’s where grower Champagnes come in. Basically, farmers in … Continue reading »

Everyone’s heard of putting your Champagne on ice – but in it? grapefriend likes the sound of that! This artisan ice cream place LA Creamery is making a Dom Perignon-infused sorbet this holiday season. Um, YUM. They made it last year too, but only used regular Dom. This year, they’re using 1990 vintage Dom (average cost: $300 … Continue reading »
harold & kumar go to napa
Usually you chow down some White Castle after a rocking night of wine. Now, you might be graping it up with your slider. Full disclosure, never been a huge fan of the Castle. Their square patties weird me out and I’ve never loved the taste – Mickey D’s was always my jam. But they just … Continue reading »
