The Oakland Raiders are not very good. But maybe it’s not a sieve-like run defense or an indecisive and largely injured O-line. Maybe it’s just that their training camp is in Napa (I MEAN, AMAAAAAAZING) and these guys couldn’t care less about games over grapes. E.W. McGah co-founded the Raiders in 1960. His son Eddie … Continue reading
I love The League. Not only does it illustrate the ridiculous obsession many of us have with fantasy football, it’s also completely hilarious. So during this Football Week, lets take a look at some of their most grapefriendy moments. 1 Remember this Taco venture? 3 Penis wine is made from the penises of a deer, … Continue reading
I’ve had many wines made by former football players and coaches, but none of these wines that are licensed by teams. Obviously, I LOVE the idea of a team backing grapes over hops for their fans but I always want the wines to actually be good too. I’d heard about the Jets Uncorked for a … Continue reading
Ah, a Football Week classic. We’ve been through the QBs and the Wide Receivers (my fave – Nicks!), and for the third annual Football Week we hit the fantasy monsters: Running Backs! Let’s see what the wine pairings are for some of the best in the NFL. adrian peterson It’s nice to be the #1 … Continue reading
It’s fall(ish), it’s football, and it’s FOOTBALL WEEK once again on grapefriend! Most people think beer for games, but grapefriends think wine. Football foods are actually amazing with wine, and even though my mission to get better wine in sports bars hasn’t swept the nation (YET) you can still pop a good bottle on your … Continue reading
Apparently Kobe’s new nickname is Vino. Apparently someone (“my man” – unidentified after that) gave it to him. And apparently he’s been trying to use it all over the place. His old nickname was Black Mambo, and that one was self-given. I don’t really even know what it’s supposed to mean and don’t care. This … Continue reading
Moët Ice Impérial is the official Champagne of the Miami Heat playoffs. Now that we have the news out of the way, we can get to the good part – namely, the hilarious SB Nation post about it. They show this kind of cheesy pic of the goblets: And they go, “Damn son, those goblets are so … Continue reading
So last night Louisville won, and we are done with the Madness and all its squeaky sneakers. If we were doing this according to grapes, we all probably would’ve been rooting for Michigan, whose wine is a little better than Kentucky’s, at least according to the Wine Spectator who did a Final Four taste off … Continue reading
Moet! That’s what the Ravens apparently popped on the field to celebrate their win over the 49ers. Not that any official sports photogs snapped any shots in the locker room – why capture the important stuff??? But I found this one on Simon Evans’ Instagram – he’s a Reuters reporter. There was also this pic … Continue reading
As far as a grapey Super Bowl between the 49ers and the Ravens, you’d think San Francisco would have it in the bag. They’re super close to Napa and Sonoma, and California makes almost 90% of wines consumed in the the US. So maybe you’d be right about them winning. But don’t totally dismiss Baltimore, … Continue reading
