The grapefriend wine totes have arrived!!! They’re totes amazing (get it?), and not just because they hold wine. I lug a lot of wine around. A lot. To friends, to dinners, to events, away for the weekend. I was tired of trying to find bubble wrap or random pieces of cardboard (liquor store style) to stuff in … Continue reading
Bukowski and whiskey = NO BRAINER. I love this entire ad, except I want to smack a grapefriend logo on at the end instead of Dewar’s. I’ve never even had Dewar’s, which apparently is the top-selling blended Scotch in the US. But since I drink whiskey way less frequently than wine, I go for good … Continue reading
It was only a matter of time before a little company like Apple would want a piece of grapefriend. We’re both fruits after all, and apparently they’ve been very influenced by what’s been going on here. So much so that they’re probably making their next iPhone Champagne-colored. Now obviously there are lots of rumors that … Continue reading
grape: Riesling. I love spicy food, and there is one wine and one wine only that I want with spicy food: Riesling. producer: Chateau Montelena. I didn’t even know they made a Riesling, because they’re incredibly famous for their Chardonnay that beat the French in the Judgment of Paris in 1976. But I loved this Riesling! country: USA region: Potter Valley, CA … Continue reading
If the song of the summer is “Blurred Lines” (although I’m partial to “Get Lucky” too), then the cocktail of the summer is the Aperol Spritz. I started drinking these a few months ago when, after a long day of wine tasting, I couldn’t have a drop more of wine. Someone told me to get … Continue reading
Always a good grapey time with my writing group. We do get some work done… Btw, the awesome American flag art is from the E Pluribus series. Represents different nationalities in America by using different ethnic materials – so cool! Continue reading

A wild sky calls for Wild Horse wine. Perfect pairing for these crazy clouds is either their Unbridled Chard and Pinot Noir. I really love their Pinot Noirs, especially the silky black cherry 2010 Cheval Sauvage which is made from the best grapes they grow each year. They’ve got Pinots at every price though, so you can … Continue reading
It’s Wine Week over on Salted & Styled, the food blog I do wine pairings for. But what does grapefriend write about when it’s a whole week devoted to my favorite topic? I was given some creative freedom, though of course I wanted to keep it food-centric. So I started thinking about food and wine … Continue reading
Oh hi, and welcome to the North Fork, where when you arrive you’re greeted with a chair full of rosé on each arm. I went to Croteaux last year if you recall, the only winery in the US that makes only rosé which I think is pretty rad. Most of their rosé is made from … Continue reading
