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.

What a difference a two months and one arrest make. Yesterday Reese and Jim Toth were spotted having lunch at the Soho House. While Jim is going for the grape, Reese looks like she’s very politically drinking water. But remember her birthday in Cabo in March? Ah, but that was all pre “Do you know … Continue reading »
Here’s the most important thing you need to know about biodynamic wine: it’s often exceptionally, potentially mind-blowing good.

It may not feel like it, but it’s official today: SPRING. IS. HERE. I ordered a Sancerre a few weeks ago with some oysters, and my friend was like, “I can’t believe you’re ordering a white in the winter.” Please. I pop white and rosé based on mood and food all year round. I think … Continue reading »
It was 50 glorious degrees in NYC today and just a day of gorgeosity! Not busting out my bikini or anything, but definitely busting out the rosé. This lean J. Albin was lovely – Willamette never disappoints. Continue reading »
To add to the ridiculous amount of articles telling you what pink wines to drink on Valentine’s Day, news just broke that Brad and Angie are making a rosé called Miraval (the name of their estate in Provence) that’ll come out next month.
