First, she said in her book that she likes wine and drinks it as part of a healthy diet. Holla. Now it’s been reported that she’s taking her grape love to the next level, taking and passing an advanced wine course. She took it via Grape Experience, which is a WSET approved class provider. This organization … Continue reading
Happy Grapesgiving, grapefriends! So many people and so many wines to be thankful for. You’ve probably seen a ton of stories about what to pair with your Thanksgiving feast – don’t believe any of them. As I’ve said on past TGs, the dinner is such a hodge podge of foods that it’s impossible to recommend … Continue reading
This is totally a day delayed because I suck. Abby was fully at the ready and I’ll let her take it from here! The last Scandal of 2014 really packed in a lot of lip quivering, Shonda-style dramatic dialogue, talk of both Vermont and the sun, and of course…wine. We even came full circle as … Continue reading
Big Kate Spade fan, and love this adorable video they just put out for the holidays. Anna Kendrick plays a ditzy girl who gets locked out of her apartment after a Kate Spade shopping spree, so she puts on a mini fashion show for her dog on the stoop while she waits for keys. Like … Continue reading
I totally thought last night was the winter finale – but now I realize we have one episode left for grapey goodness. I hand you over to Abby who knows much more about B-613 than I do (I’m all wine, not warring). Buckle up, grapefriends! This is the episode before the much-promoted winter finale which … Continue reading
Rihanna posted this photo on Twitter the other day. https://twitter.com/rihanna/status/521505692478218240 It’s true: if you know, you know. Riri knows. I know. And my dad knows too, though he didn’t a mere three months ago. I got him a 2006 Sassicaia for his birthday. I was super excited to give it to him, but when he opened … Continue reading
First, apologies for the delayed recap: Grapefriend and I were eating and drinking our way through New Orleans the past few days. I’m just sorry we couldn’t bring back beignets and praline bacon for you all! But not to worry, Scandal-watching was top priority upon return. wine moment #1 (and only) There wasn’t a lot … Continue reading
One of my favorite places on the Upper West Side is Fred’s, which has some of the sickest mac and cheese ever made (not to mention carafes of goldfish crackers at the bar). Whenever I take my nephews there, they always get the buffalo chicken version which is pretty damn awesome. My sister attempted to … Continue reading
Only one more week til the Winter Finale – so drink up this penultimate weekly wine recap, grapefriends, and take it away, Gabby – haha, Abby! Was everyone too busy doing actual work to drink a lot of wine in this episode? Apparently. But I’d say it weakened Olivia as she couldn’t see through the … Continue reading
Congrats, Giants! Man, I wish I were talking about the NY Giants – but sadly the east coast G-men don’t looked poised for a championship this year and don’t have their own wine!!! The San Francisco Giants, on the other hand, won the World Series last night (their 8th championship title) and have their own … Continue reading
