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
killer thought from sammy j
tina fey – she’s just like wine!
I found out something disturbing this week. Liz Lemon drinks Pinot Grigio. We all know how I feel about Pinot Grigio. In case you don’t, a quick summation would be “makes me want to throw up in own hands/rip out tongue/wish wine was never invented.” Not that I’m dramatic at all. The state of sitcoms … Continue reading
tap dance
Happy weekend for grapefriend – I went to a place where they had wines and beers right next to each other on tap. The wine on tap trend has been around for a little bit, but I just hadn’t personally seen it in effect. Yes, there are those places where they have bottles in cold … Continue reading
you deserve a grape today, NFL fans!
The ridiculousness is over – no lockout!!! I really didn’t think it would happen but at some point these past few months all the football experts in my life were genuinely scared it would, so I bended to their fear. But me and the NFL now prevail!!!!!! Fans deserve a drink for sweating this all … Continue reading
everything coming up rosés
It’s my favorite time of year: summer. That means a) I’m not freezing my ass off and b) I drink a lot more rosé. I’ll drink rosé sometimes during the rest of the year, but it never feels totally right. It’s weird, because I’ve even started drinking a lot more whites in the winter but for … Continue reading
eat badly, drink well!
Last week I was quoted in an article in the Wall Street Journal. It was no big deal. HAHA, totally kidding, it was AWESOME. It was a fun article about junk food and drink pairings, and the quote they used of mine was about how I love Diet Coke and pizza. This is 100% true, … Continue reading
keep it clean, kids
I just read about this new study that tried to figure out how Millennials (hate that term) drink wine. It was done by the Wine Business Institute at Sonoma State University, and the awesomest things to come out of it were the random comments. People said they like to drink wine while hiking, reading and … Continue reading
screw this
Screw caps are not the devil. By which I mean they are no indication of a bad wine. Tons of wines are switching away from corks these days, something I used to think meant “here’s some liquid puke in a bottle.” Not so any more. Sort of like how Justin Timberlake used to be in … Continue reading
