pop culture & wine hook up
It’s our final Scandal wine recap (so sad), and Abby’s back with deep and meaningful insight into the inner workings of this show as grapefriend plies her with wine. First, let me just say that grapefriend sure knows how to throw the BEST #ScandalFinale party in town. We had goblets of wine and more popcorn than … Continue reading
Tonight’s the Scandal finale, and any good gladiator grapefriend will be grabbing their glass and pouring out copious amounts of red wine. Here are a few essential tips for your viewing party: most importantly, what WINE to drink??? Red, red, and then some more red. And good red. Olivia has mentioned drinking Bordeaux (love, but it … Continue reading
The final season of Mad Men started last night (the first half anyway, since it’s split into two mini-seasons). Roger Sterling, for one, was ready – WITH WINE: @MadMen_AMC @MadMenSCP What business would that be? Wine, women and song? I’m ready… — Roger Sterling (@NYRogerSterling) April 11, 2014 Between Scandal, Game of Thrones, and now … Continue reading
Game of Thrones is back, and I think it may be giving Scandal a run for its money in the grape department. And although we never really know what Olivia Pope is drinking, I’m not even going to try to figure out what’s in Game‘s medieval goblets. So let’s just pretend it’s all Rhone varietals, … Continue reading
Just yesterday I was sort of groaning that we were in for a few years of people over-swooning about Baby George photos. But then I got the grapefriend equivalent of cute baby pics: William and Kate touring a vineyard in New Zealand! They toured Amisfield Vineyard in Central Otago, which is a region known for its Pinot … Continue reading
I know people are probably still scarred by the fact that there wasn’t any wine in last night’s Scandal and may not even be able to bring themselves to read recaps this morning. I mean, Liv was having a prime scenario in which to get her grape on: namely, having a torturous late night in-the-dark phone … Continue reading
Scandal wine recaps are back, thanks to our Gladiator Grapefriend Abby Gardner and the fact that wine made its reappearance on the show! Phew! It’s been a long couple of weeks, gladiators and grapefriends. But at last, Scandal is back in the wine game where it belongs! While we’d like to assume that Liv has been … Continue reading
Frozen is now the highest-grossing animated film ever. It’s raked in $1.072 billion which beats Toy Story‘s $1.063. And I’m pretty sure it’s not because of that annoying Idina Menzel song. It’s because everyone watches it while drinking wine! I submit a small sampling of what’s going down on Instagram. Obviously, you should probably be pairing … Continue reading
As you may recall, I’m obsessed with the song “Happy.” That dumb song from Frozen beat it out of an Oscar, but whatever. Anyway, imagine the level of Happy I achieved when I saw this video of this guy Dan playing it on wine glasses! (There are also two pans and clapping involved, but after … Continue reading
Scandal wine recaps continue, with our Gladiator Grapefriend Abby Gardner at the helm! . OH MY GOD, WHO GOT SHOT? Pour me another glass! . While we won’t know whether David or James (or both!) was shot by Jake until next week, we do know that Liv drank a lot of wine last night—and with … Continue reading
