pop culture & wine hook up
You’d think Buckingham Palace was in the tropics what with how much the royals like to take off their clothes lately. First we got Prince Harry, rolling through Vegas like he suddenly thought he was on Girls Gone Wild. Then a mere few weeks later, Kate tries to trump him by sunbathing topless in France. … Continue reading
I’ll admit I don’t watch American Idol anymore, but I used to be super into it and may or may not have even made an appearance on the first season (not as a performer). I’ve always liked Ryan Seacrest though – he just seems like a pretty nice guy and works his ass off. Good … Continue reading
So this promo just came out for the TBS debut of Cougar Town in January. These guys seem like they’d be actually fun to hang out with. Even if they weren’t, I’d get to have some pretty good wine as evidenced by the two wines in this promo. The two wines they’re drinking are Faust … Continue reading
BTW, did you see The Real Housewives of New York last night? grapefriend loved it. As if you needed another reason to want to be in St. Barths, their house had a wine dispenser that doled out chilled rosé and Pinot Grigio (ew, but Ramona was there, so…). Carole said that when Ramona and Sonja saw … Continue reading
Yes, you would rather be doing this right now: Diddy’s floating around in Ibiza; chances are you’re not. I’m not. For now, I’ll have to just settle for drinking some Spanish whites. Diddy didn’t name-call the wine, but we can guess what it might be. There are four wineries on the island of Ibiza, all … Continue reading

In Ramona’s … Continue reading
It was good to have Eddy and Pats back last night, even though their Olympics special was a little lackluster. Still, there’s was lots of Bolly all over the place – empty ones on the counters, half-full ones on the kitchen table, and of course tons in the ab fab Champagne fridge. Among the Bolly … Continue reading
Champagne does a much better job at marketing than wine does. They do more advertising, more events, and even sign up celebrity endorsers. Let’s take a look at some of them: megan hilty and nicolas feuillatte She’s the blond girl on Smash, in case you’re one of the millions who don’t watch it. NF recently … Continue reading
My friend works for Kiehl’s and every year goes on this LifeRide with them, where a bunch of badbass bikers and celebs two-wheel it 1800 miles from Miami to DC to support National HIV/AIDS Awareness Month. This is the third year, and she was telling me stories of lots of riding and even more partying. Now … Continue reading
I have to interrupt Rosé Week for one very important post: One of my favorite movies of all time turns 17 today – a year older than Cher herself! There are so many genius lines by Amy Heckerling, but being grapefriend I’d like to highlight the one wine mention: CHER: Do you want something to … Continue reading
