getting your grape on

getting your grape on: august

And the grapes just keep on coming. Especially if you’re Amy, who wins the Grapefriend of the Month award for tweeting me pictures of everything she drank on her French vacation! Salut!

Here’s Amy’s trip du vin in the south of France and Paris:

chateau beaulieu

alain ducasse champagne

“Alain ducasse champagne, plaza athenne #paris. Crisp. Divine. Elegant.”

In other parts of the world, Lauren said this wine in Thailand was made with black rhizomes. The reviews were not raves.

Back stateside, we had Owen drinking some awesome Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape in Chicago:

And finally back in New York, Annie texted me this picture from her lunch:

I knew immediately she was at La Bottega, because the week before I’d taken this picture!
