I really wasn’t going to do straight-up wine pairing suggestions for Thanksgiving. But I’ve been reading a lot of these other articles and there are some…”interesting” suggestions flying around, so I realized you may want a grapefriend in your time of need. Also, my mom sent me an email saying I should do it. So … Continue reading

burning bubbles
I’ve never been to any festival in the desert, including Coachella. If I’m going to a grimy, heat-filled and crowded all-day jam fest, I want to leave at the end of the day, shower well and kick back in style with some refreshing champs. Apparently, I can now do that at Burning Man of all … Continue reading
Happy I needed this Happy Hour
Someone’s rocking the goblet. And I deserve it. Continue reading
fantasy football of the wine kind
CellarTracker.com has a league where instead of money, people ante up a $50-75 bottle of wine. So obsessed. I asked if I could join but they said it was already full. Boooooo. I bet now that they know it’s Football Week on grapefriend they’re pretty sorry! Anyway, here are the wines that have been pledged … Continue reading
felluga found!!!
When I was living in Rome I had the Livio Felluga Sauvignon Blanc one night and loved it. I hate when people say place-droppy shit like that – it’s so Jay McInerney in almost every one of his WSJ On Wine posts. But since it’s just true and relevant to what I’m writing about, I … Continue reading
fear is a corporate party
Scary #1: social events in my office lobby are so loud none of us can do work. Scary #2: they serve the worst wine ever. Scary #3: I usually still drink it. Scary #4: I’m not on the verge of vomiting from this $8 bottle for once. It’s a Cab from the Colchagua region of … Continue reading
beyond everything
In my ideal world, from now on I wouldn’t drink any wine younger than I am. This was top 3 on my list of Best Wines Ever. Words can almost not describe, but I was an English/Creative Writing major so I have to attempt. The smoothest wine I’ve ever had. Can’t even put into a … Continue reading
everything coming up rosés
It’s my favorite time of year: summer. That means a) I’m not freezing my ass off and b) I drink a lot more rosé. I’ll drink rosé sometimes during the rest of the year, but it never feels totally right. It’s weird, because I’ve even started drinking a lot more whites in the winter but for … Continue reading
this sounds top cheffy and cool

Magical Elves who does Top Chef and Project Runway (LOVE them) is looking for professional chefs of all levels in LA, NY, San Francisco, Chicago and Austin. Here’s the blurb, good luck!: FROM MAGICAL ELVES, THE PRODUCERS OF BRAVO’S EMMY AWARD-WINNING … Continue reading
a very super market
I don’t know how I missed this story, but some 23-year-old girl in France was in a supermarket last month and tried to change the bar code on two bottles of Petrus, switching the price of about €2,300 per bottle with €2.50 labels. Apparently label switching is common in France, especially during “foires aux vins” … Continue reading
