It was a treacherous night for so many people, but during disasters you hear so many great stories about heroic acts. The people who were saving lives in the storm last night as they evacuated all of the patients from NYU and transferred them to other hospitals deserve our thanks and congratulations. And the preemie … Continue reading »

you deserve a grape today, andy murray!
Even though he lost to Federer (and who doesn’t, yawn), Murray was the first Brit to be in the finals since 1938! So he should still celebrate - with Champagne Lanson, the official bubbly of Wimbledon for the past 30 years. Lanson’s really popular around the world, and is one of the biggets sellers in the UK, … Continue reading »
you deserve a (lot of) grape today, ny giants!
The Giants ROCKED the Super Bowl as hard as Madonna. And the Blue Boys know how to celebrate. For their fourth Lombardi Trophy, they were presented with a Nebuchadnezzar of Armand de Brignac champers. (I know I wasn’t going to talk about AdB anymore, but I think it’s understandable that I gotta make an exception here!) … Continue reading »
you deserve a grape today, victor cruz!
The year is starting off well for the Giants, the NFC East divisional champs after last night’s win over the Cowboys. And many of those wins are thanks to one Victor Cruz, the adorbale, salsa-dancing touchdowner who made a KILLER 74-yard TD last night. That was after last week’s 99-yard touchdown that set a Giants … Continue reading »
you deserve a grape today, new york football teams!
I’m a Giants fan. But most people I watch with know I also love Mark Sanchez, and they’re constantly yelling at me saying I can’t root for the Jets if I’m a Giants fans. Well, I’m officially declaring that I can as of today! They’ll never play each other where it counts until a Superbowl … Continue reading »
you deserve a grape today, east coast!
Earthquake in NYC??? That was nuts. I sure could use a drink – some STILL wine, please! And let’s make it one from Virginia since that’s where the epicenter was. But as one friend of mine just said, New York takes credit for everything! How about some Blenheim Vineyards wine? It’s in Charlottesville, VA and … Continue reading »
you deserve a grape today, debt ceiling voters!
This is a completely non-partisan post, but after all that hemming and hawing these people have spent a lot of time in rooms with ugly carpeting and probably really need a glass. I don’t know the minute details of what went down. I do, however, know that Boehner is deluded about the pronunciation of his … Continue reading »
you deserve a grape today, NFL fans!
The ridiculousness is over – no lockout!!! I really didn’t think it would happen but at some point these past few months all the football experts in my life were genuinely scared it would, so I bended to their fear. But me and the NFL now prevail!!!!!! Fans deserve a drink for sweating this all … Continue reading »
you deserve a grape today, america!
America’s getting its grape due today basically just because it rules. We’re free, and though this country may have its flaws it’s my favorite place ever. Wine-wise it might be decades behind the Old World, but man has it done a lot in its short vine-growing time. Napa Cabs, Oregon Pinots (Noir & Gris), Washington … Continue reading »
you deserve a grape today, dad!
I can’t think of anyone better to inaugurate this column than my favorite person in the entire world – my dad!!! I’ve come across a lot of dads in my time, and I know without a doubt that mine is one of the best who ever lived, if not the best period. He has loved … Continue reading »
