We say adieu to yet another New York Fashion Week. And though I didn’t get my share of after-party cocktails this year, I still got to drool over the looks. Which is much better than drooling at a late-night after party after too many drinks… And in another tweak to grapefriend’s fave “stars – they’re … Continue reading
Last year at the tents Kim Crawford Wines was a sponsor. I actually like the Sauvignon Blanc and think it’s very affordable, though I did think it was weird that a New Zealand wine was sponsoring New York Fashion Week. But, New York’s a melting pot I guess! Haven’t had to go to any shows … Continue reading
OK, now that Football Week is over it’s back to business. And on grapefriend, business means posts about Bravo shows and the wine being drunk on them. On last week’s premiere of RH of Bev Hills, Adrienne Maloof claimed that the champagne she was serving cost $2200 a bottle and was “the most expensive champagne … Continue reading
This dude and his coach are by far my new favorite people. In 2003, the Chiefs kicker Morten Andersen got shit from the NFL after his coach Dick Vermeil promised him a bottle of wine if he made a field goal—a reward the NFL said would be against regulations.

Well, I’m officially declaring that I can as of today! They’ll never play each other where it counts until a Superbowl … Continue reading
CellarTracker.com has a league where instead of money, people ante up a $50-75 bottle of wine. So obsessed. I asked if I could join but they said it was already full. Boooooo. I bet now that they know it’s Football Week on grapefriend they’re pretty sorry! Anyway, here are the wines that have been pledged … Continue reading
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell made a new league rule that NFL players are forbidden to endorse alcoholic beverages. Listen up, Roger Goodell, whose name should obviously be Roger BADell because he’s a wine hater!!! Lots of NFL people like drinking wine, which I think is pretty damn harmless in comparison to say, killing dogs or … Continue reading
Seeing as the first games of the season start this week, IT’S FOOTBALL WEEK ON GRAPEFRIEND!!! All week, I’ll be bringing you fun football + wine posts. Trust me, there’s a lot going on! Plus, it’s my mission to get Blondie’s (where we watch every game) to carry some decent wine for grapefriend. Until then, … Continue reading
