Today’s the day: IT’S OFFICIALLY SPRING!!! The weather is so warm and I had my first outside drinks last night. Grapefriend couldn’t be happier. Here are my favorite things about spring with wines to match. grass: grüner veltliner The aroma most commonly associated with Grüner Veltliner is white pepper, but for me it’s a great grassy … Continue reading
Well, Denver got Peyton Manning. I didn’t put an exclamation point at the end of this title as I usually do for this recurring post, because I’m sad to see my QB’s brother leave his home of Indy which is also home to many of my friends including my football professors. But I don’t have … Continue reading
At this point there’s a season of Real Housewives on at any given moment and pretty much all of them are grapefriends. Copious amounts of wine have been poured in every city and every season, so it’s no shocker that so many of the women are now hawking their own wines. Although I’ve read about … Continue reading
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! It’s the holiday when all Irish people love to drink – wine! Everyone thinks the day’s all about beer, but these gaelic grapefriends are here to prove you very, very wrong.

You know Big Ang, the multi-pack-a-day-smoker-voiced woman on Mob Wives? Yeah, well she’s a grapefriend! She runs a Staten Island bar called The Drunken Monkey, and also recently told Food and Wine that she cooks dinner for 10 to 15 people every Sunday. “Good food is the way to a wise guy’s heart,” she said to F&W. “I’m the … Continue reading
After 8 years of non-drinking Bush, Obama rang in Election Night with a Graham Beck sparkling wine from South Africa. Things were looking good for the grape again in the USA and in the White House where all wines served at state dinners are always American. They’re chosen by a small staff based on menu compatibility … Continue reading
Despite the post yesterday that said Ryan and Eva Mendes split – you know, the one that had girls skipping down the sidewalks and going to buy their single vineyard wines – it is, in fact, not true. My friend at US Weekly who’s like the celebrity CIA said all the reports were false. So … Continue reading
So as was heavily rumored, Ben chose Courtney last night on The Bachelor. That wasn’t surprising to me since she played a masterful game of “wed the winemaker” all season – except for last night. Suddenly she’s all, “Oh, I’ll just have coffee” while Lindzi’s all “Let’s day drink!” Maybe this, however, was Courtney’s masterstroke … Continue reading
