In my ideal world, from now on I wouldn’t drink any wine younger than I am. This was top 3 on my list of Best Wines Ever. Words can almost not describe, but I was an English/Creative Writing major so I have to attempt. The smoothest wine I’ve ever had. Can’t even put into a … Continue reading

getting your grape on!
grapefriend is ecstatic! So many people have been emailing and texting me what they’ve been drinking. I love it! Someone even got a wine they read about on grapefriend.com (the Flowers Pinot Noir) and loved it! From the looks of it, you guys are drinking well. Keep it up! And keep sending me what you’re … Continue reading
worthy of tom cruise
Apparently it got all “cool” and “hipster” to drink Txacoli in the past few years. Whatever. I got one the other night at this place Bluebird in Chicago and it’s really unique and you should check it out. It’s made in the Basque part of Spain, which is in the north right off the ocean. … Continue reading

That’s because I keep shaking it wondering WHY when there are SO MANY OTHER white wines out there, WHY you would choose this one!!! The latest offender? Kanye West. He was apparently at La Bottega the … 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
where ya from?
If someone says they’re from the Valley, Greenwich or the Jersey Shore, you have some sense of what they might be like. (If they lived in all three, then omigod they went to prep school, Snooki!) Same for where wine’s grown – if it’s hot or cold, has ocean breezes, what kind of soil’s in … Continue reading
