The second annual Champagne Day is October 28. I don’t really know what that means, but as I always say, any of these made-up wine celebration days is ok with me. So speaking of champagne, it looks like Joey – Rachel Zoe’s makeup artist who she convinced to move to LA while she was pregs … Continue reading

gorga’s giant grapes
Last night I went to the Giants game. I had to drink beer, but it was actually good (called Landshark – pretty tasty). Anyway, Joe Gorga from Real Housewives of New Jersey was sitting right in front of us with Richie (Kathy’s husband). I didn’t see Joe drinking, but grapefriend has to wonder if he’d … Continue reading
fashion week wine shenanigans
Last year at the tents Kim Crawford Wines was a sponsor. I actually like the Sauvignon Blanc and think it’s very affordable, though I did think it was weird that a New Zealand wine was sponsoring New York Fashion Week. But, New York’s a melting pot I guess! Haven’t had to go to any shows … Continue reading
champagne gives you wiiiiings
OK, now that Football Week is over it’s back to business. And on grapefriend, business means posts about Bravo shows and the wine being drunk on them. On last week’s premiere of RH of Bev Hills, Adrienne Maloof claimed that the champagne she was serving cost $2200 a bottle and was “the most expensive champagne … Continue reading
who cares about the ring?
This dude and his coach are by far my new favorite people. In 2003, the Chiefs kicker Morten Andersen got shit from the NFL after his coach Dick Vermeil promised him a bottle of wine if he made a field goal—a reward the NFL said would be against regulations. Wine Spectator got the story a … Continue reading
michael bublé has a cute wine story
Words I never thought I’d say: I’m starting to really like Michael Bublé. First he did that funny restaurant skit with Jon Hamm on SNL and then I just read this on Wine Spectator’s site: “I bought a junior team called the Vancouver Giants, and for good luck, my grandpa brings his wine—he makes this … Continue reading
for those about to drink, ac/dc salutes you!!!
If you drink too much one night, wine can certainly be your own personal Highway to Hell. Now AC/DC thinks so too! They’re teaming up with an Aussie winery, Warburn Estate, and getting grapes from the Barossa and Coonawarra regions. They’re making Back in Black Shiraz, You Shook Me All Night Long Moscato, Highway to … Continue reading
dallas most eligible wine
It’s official. I will literally watch anything on Bravo. I thought it couldn’t get worse than Miami Social, but last night along came Dallas Most Eligible. It was quite bad, but I did like that many people were drinking wine. My favorite scene was when Tara sits down with the Ferrari guy whose name I … Continue reading
worthy of tom cruise
Apparently it got all “cool” and “hipster” to drink Txacoli in the past few years. Whatever. I got one the other night at this place Bluebird in Chicago and it’s really unique and you should check it out. It’s made in the Basque part of Spain, which is in the north right off the ocean. … Continue reading
