grapefriend likes wine. grapefriend likes fun. I was a magazine entertainment editor and a producer at MTV until I got hooked on the grape. So I’ve spent a lot of time formally studying wine (even got certified in Viticulture & Vinification and Blind Tasting at the American Sommelier Association), but I’ve spent much more time reading US Weekly and watching Bravo. And even more just drinking and having a good time.
So here, you’ll have as much fun finding out about wine as you do when you’re drinking it. I also regularly write about wine for MarieClaire.com and do a monthly wine in pop culture rundown on Thirsty Girl. Grab a glass, read, comment, laugh and – most importantly – drink along!
For speaking engagements, consulting, or private events, email me at grapefriend@gmail.com. And send any fun stories, questions, press releases, sample inquiries or just pictures of any yummy wine you’re drinking. Or just find me on Facebook or Twitter or Pinterest or Instagram. I drink everywhere.
the site looks great!
Thanks!
I know nothing about wine, and I love your blog–very informative and readable. I like Prosecco–can you recommend a good one? Also how about a good bubbly rose?
Thanks so much. sophia
Hi Sophia! Nino Franco Rustico Prosecco di Valdobbiadene (Valdobbiadene is the best region for Prosecco) is about $15, and I also see Zardetto everywhere. I usually buy Prosecco as a cheaper alternative to Champagne and don’t spend much on it (and you don’t really have to). As for a bubbly rose, Moet isn’t my favorite Champagne but I do really like their rose!
You are like my mental doppelganger. I mean, I am a twin, so I already have a doppelganger (who would love this site) but seriously. If I were me, but had the idea to write this blog, I would be you.
Love it – a true grapefriend! Come back and drink often – we’re everywhere!
