So Cameron Diaz is shooting a new movie called The Other Woman. She plays a woman who finds out her boyfriend is married and and then teams up with his wife to get revenge on him, but then he’s even cheating on them with Kate Upton, or something like that. Sounds dumb, and to make it worse … Continue reading

mad men wine: sympathy grapes
The whole episode was causing me a lot of anxiety because wine didn’t make an appearance until the last scene. Torture! But then it made up for it. First, I don’t like how they’re manipulating me into liking Megan by having her drink wine all the time. It’s obvious and shameless. But I mean, it … Continue reading
happy prep happy hour
A little Barolo as we prep the veal saltimbocca! I don’t usually drink Italian reds but Barolo (made from the Nebbiolo grape) is good. Also, very expensive. For my own palate I’d usually buy another red for the price but people do go crazy over them. Medium body for a red, tart cherry, and great … Continue reading
catch the spirit, not the wine
So here’s a fun one for Friday: Spirit Airlines is now serving wine in a can. It’s from some wine company called Friends Just Wine. As if canned wine doesn’t sound bad enough, it comes in barfy flavors like Grape Melon (um, yeah, all wine is “grape”) and Strawberry Moscato. Apparently cans are easier to … Continue reading
cocktail friend: the town & country
Love bourbon, so any good cocktail made with it usually makes me happy. This one’s delicious and a little sweet – though not overly so – due to said bourbon and some maple syrup. Such a pretty party for the launch last night! Town and Country yummy cocktail and gorge party @tandcmag vine.co/v/b3LP0WO9bqg — grapefriend … Continue reading
throwback thursday: happy 15th anniversary, sex and the city!
Sex. The City. And Champagne. Laurent Perrier to be specific (yum). I just did a SATC #tbt last month but I didn’t realize it’s now the show’s 15th anniversary, debuting 15 years ago today! The girls were partial to the Cosmo of course, but you know if it took place today they’d be rocking the grape … Continue reading

So much good stuff this month! First, lots of travel and wine-drinking all around the world: Gwen had this Malbec rosé in Brazil Leah went all over Napa Ed kicked it in Costa Rica (don’t you want to be there right now?) Annie popped mini bubbles on Nantucket Roxy snapped this wall o’ wine in … Continue reading
the super sippy for summer – giveaway!
We all know how fun the wine sippy cup is – now there’s a super-sized one for even more summer awesomeness! And in a grapefriendy purple. The even better news is that 3 lucky grapefriends can win one! I could just do a boring sweepstakes giveaway, but that’s not the grapefriend way. And since everyone … Continue reading
mad men wine: weed wins
I’m changing the name of the show from Mad Men to Mad Grapefriends. Once again, no wine in the whole episode. Started out per usual with Don sippin on the brown juice. But all was downhill from there, even for cocktails really. Don could’ve been drinking wine out if that high tumbler by the pool, … Continue reading
happy rosé on the deck happy hour
There are very few things in life that make me happier than having rosé outside when it’s warm out. The other night was one of those happy nights – I know I’m late , but I was too busy rosé-ing to post and these were good rosés (sparkling Lamberti and the still was Belleruche Cotes du … Continue reading
