The whole episode was causing me a lot of anxiety because wine didn’t make an appearance until the last scene. Torture! But then it made up for it. First, I don’t like how they’re manipulating me into liking Megan by having her drink wine all the time. It’s obvious and shameless. But I mean, it … Continue reading »
Lots of gifts are given to the president. I mean hell, I get gifts and I’m just grapefriend so you can surmise that the leader of the free world gets some killer swag. Let’s just concentrate on the wine-related ones though, and see which country is the biggest grapefriend: portugal Professor Anıbal Cavaco Silva, president of Portugal: W&J … Continue reading »
Finally! After two dry weeks, we are back on grapey track. Since this is so exciting, let’s get right to it. Once again, we have Megan to thank. First, before dinner she poured Don some Canadian Club but already had some wine in her own glass. No bottle in sight, but it was white. She’s … Continue reading »
Apparently Kobe’s new nickname is Vino. Apparently someone (“my man” – unidentified after that) gave it to him. And apparently he’s been trying to use it all over the place.

The first two episodes (and one was the two-hour preem) made us wait til the last 15 minutes until we got wine. Then in Mad Men‘s whip-you way, we got not just one but two wine scenes in the FIRST 15 minutes! Woo hoo. So let’s start with Joan’s dinner, with three glasses of Lancer’s … Continue reading »
I don’t watch Scandal but I might as well since everyone freaking talks and tweets about it so much. I also find it very odd that until recently no one brought to my attention that one of the main characters is a major grapefriend. That said, the show does a shit job of it. I … Continue reading »
So after I did the post about Jennifer Lawrence drinking BV Cab in Hawaii, she found out about it and started tagging me in pics when she was drinking wine. With a total of four tags, she’s our March Grapefriend of the Month! We all now how big of a grapefriend she is, so this … Continue reading »
I was watching The Rachel Zoe Project last night, and when she was talking about how designers have to choose all of these different elements like material, accessory details, and color and bring them together into one piece, I was thinking it’s really similar to winemakers. They have to make decisions about grapes, barrels, temperature … Continue reading »
All these reports came out that Paris Saint-Germain, the French football club that just got David Beckham, wants to release a Bordeaux with its players on different labels. They were supposedly in negotiations with Francis Lamblin, the winemaker at Chateau Lamblin in the Côtes de Bourg region of Bordeaux.
