Before the football season begins every year, it’s a tradition for rookies to pick up (at least part of) the tab for the veteran players who go to dinner with them. Cowboys’ wide receiver Dez Bryant told people he was pissed off when he was rookie and had to pick up the dinner tab in … Continue reading
Matt Ryan threw for 440 yards in his first game of the 2014 season – holy moly! He’s the 5th QB since the AFL-NFL merger to throw for at least 440 yards in a season-opening win. The even better news? All the previous four guys who did that made the playoffs. As insane as 440 … Continue reading
In past Football Weeks, we’ve done our grapey comparisons of the QBs, the Wide Receivers, and the Running Backs. Now, the Tight Ends get their time to shine! jimmy graham Crushes it for the Saints. He scores so many points that he actually argued he should be classified as a wide receiver when he was negotiating … Continue reading

THIS is how you do a draft. Fantasy football, rosé reality. If you’re one of those people who either say: 1) summer is over, I can’t drink rosé anymore 2) I can’t drink wine while watching football then you’re my new project! As regular grapefriends know, I live for getting people to drink wine while … Continue reading

Dîner en Blanc happened this week in NYC, and is totally something you should know about if you like wine, the color white, and having a blast. It’s a massive invite-only dinner party, but for over 4,000 people. An hour before the dinner begins, the organizers send everyone invited an email with the address – … Continue reading
I love hitting up emerging wine regions in the US. The North Fork is especially fun because you get to clock some relaxing water time, usually with some Croteaux rosé on deck (their sparkling Merlot rosé is especially delicious, though sold out). Once I was thoroughly soothed by the bay, it was off to wine country. … Continue reading
Kate Moss recently collaborated with a British sculptor to create a Champagne glass modeled after her left breast. This is nothing new. The original “coupe” was said to be modeled after Marie Antoinette’s left breast (although some think it was after Madame Pompadour’s). 34 restaurant in London, where Kate had her 40th birthday lunch in … Continue reading
Killer 70s find! What do you think Sabrina was drinking – a little Whispering Angel, perhaps? Actually, I’m pretty sure Whispering Angel wasn’t around in the 70s nor is she drinking rosé so that’s really just a lame Angel joke. More likely it was Chablis or Blue Nun, which were popular whites back then. Despite … Continue reading
