We start Father’s Day early here. And even though my mom is actually the bubbly fan, grapefriend has some sampling to do. It’s going quite well with the farmer’s market cheese and tangy pine nut red pepper dip! Look for full reviews during Rosé Week, coming end of month. Very exciting. Continue reading

wine pops: best summer invention ever
I love boats. I used to joke that instead of having an open drink that would splash all over me when I was on the high seas (or, the ocean waters off of Connecticut) that we should make frozen wine popsicles.

you deserve a grape today, rafael nadal!
Oooooooh look who won the French Open! Not much of a surprise but still it’s quite a feat, especially with the rain delay and everything. Surely, it earns Rafa some grapey goodness. We could easily just pop open some Champagne – the region’s about an hour from Paris. But I think it would be much … Continue reading
