Most hilarious episode of Mad Men ever. But what isn’t funny at all is that we’ve now had two weeks in a row without a drop of wine! At first I thought the Drapers had some sort of ferris wheel of fun where wine bottles were placed on a round rack in their kitchen. That … Continue reading
So Ace of Spades now has this thing called Armand de Brignac Dynastie that’s a collection of every available bottle format it comes in. It goes for the low, low price of half a million bucks. Why’s it called Dynastie? Wouldn’t have anything to do with Jay-Z’s Dynasty album, would it now? This Dynastie includes nine … Continue reading
Forget Cosmo’s. Sex and the City also had tons of Champagne, a few bottles of wine, and Big even wound up moving to Napa. Oh, and look whose glass is empty? Miss that show. Continue reading
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

During the summer, access to free … Continue reading
This week’s ep was all about control – losing it, gaining it, infuriating Don with it. When Sylvia calls him at the office, she says, “I need you, and nothing else will do.” Don being Don, and also being vulnerable and power-bummed at that moment, was all pumped. Oh, Don. SHE WAS TALKING TO THE … Continue reading
Happy Mother’s Day to moms of all types! A half bottle (accompanied by a full bottle, obvs) is a fantastic present. Continue reading
Since Gatsby’s set in Prohibition era, it’s all about the cocktails. Harrods is doing a pop-up bar for about two weeks, serving up cocktails that were popular during the 20s like Martinis and Hendrick’s Gin cocktails served in a fine china tea cup – kind of love it. And Moët & Chandon, which is actually in the … Continue reading
If you’re not following grapefriend on Twitter, you may have missed these amazing grape gems this week! Did an awesome Twitter sake tasting with the winemaker for SakeOne. These two int he front were my faves – the SakeMoto had a kind of anise touch but mellow and complex, and the Yoshinogawa Winter Warrior had some super … Continue reading
