It’s a confusing time in the NFL. Not only do we have these replacement refs making totally dodgy calls, but Eli Manning has revealed his playlist with some very odd songs. Among the John Denver, DMB and Coldplay (killing me), everyone is completely bewildered by the inclusion of Technopop Slashfest’s “Fill Up My Glass” – … Continue reading
I know the US Open ended a while ago, but I just read about this. After Andy Murray won, he went to celebrate in NYC at Hakkasan. I haven’t been yet but I have been to the one in London and loooved it. It was a while ago so I don’t remember what I drank, … Continue reading
My dad said grapefriend has become very boring for him “because it’s all football!” Too bad, D, here’s one more! Football Week was officially last week, but I have to do this post because it obviously had a massive impact on lives. My worlds are colliding, my dreams are coming true: people are drinking wine while … Continue reading

But the gridiron grapefriends just keep pouring in … Continue reading
As we know, Peyton Manning isn’t exactly a grapefriend. That distinction belongs to one Manning only, and that is Eli, two-time Super Bowl winner. But could things be changing??? First, I saw this pic on Twitter with the caption: “Peyton Manning’s wine locker at my hotel haha #cooool” I didn’t get any more details from … Continue reading
Fall has sort of officially kicked off, which brings back one of my favorite things on grapefriend: FOOTBALL WEEK! This week will be chock full of football grapefriends and tons of other grapeball goodies. That said, last season took a LOT out of grapefriend. Even though my team won the Super Bowl, it wasn’t an … Continue reading
They just ended on Sunday, but already feel so far away. It’s come to my attention, however, that many of the athletes finally got to abandon their surely-rough, no-alcohol training routines and celebrate with some bubbly: Ryan Lochte, he of much hotness and douchebaggery, continued said douchebaggery by drinking a $3,158 (£2,012) cocktail. It was made … Continue reading
For the first time in Olympics history there are official Olympic wines!!! This is so cool! And pretty fascinating in terms of how they chose the wines. The three official Olympic wines, a red a white and a rosé, are the only ones on sale at the Olympic Park and pretty much every other 2012 venue. … Continue reading
