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
Even though he lost to Federer (and who doesn’t, yawn), Murray was the first Brit to be in the finals since 1938! So he should still celebrate – with Champagne Lanson, the official bubbly of Wimbledon for the past 30 years. Lanson’s really popular around the world, and is one of the biggets sellers in the UK, … Continue reading
Oooooooh look who won the French Open! Not much of a surprise but still it’s quite a feat, especially with the rain delay and everything. Surely, it earns Rafa some grapey goodness. We could easily just pop open some Champagne – the region’s about an hour from Paris. But I think it would be much … Continue reading
You know how they used to say eat your Wheaties and you’d be strong like all the athletes on the cereal box? Well they should do it for wine, and namely Freeman Winery should put Eli Manning on their labels. The backstory on this photo goes down like this: Eli was at Redd, a restaurant in … Continue reading
Let me state my allegiances very clearly: 1) the Giants and 2) Mark Sanchez. Damn, I can call ’em. Why? I need to just let the Post relay this sad tale: Tim Tebow has only just become a Jet, but the Florida-bred backup quarterback has already earned his own namesake table at Philippe New York. … Continue reading
Super Bowl bets between the team cities’ governmental dudes are in full action. We’ve got some yummy NYC eats on the line, and it’s not like I’m trying to be biased but our stuff always seems better than what we’d get from the other team. (Cheese curds, Wisconsin? Thank god we won that one.) Luckily, … Continue reading
As we all know, I’ve been on a mission to make it acceptable to drink good wine during games, if that’s your preference over beer (ohhh yeah). Progress: very little. Last time I asked what kind of wine they had at Blondie’s, I was told “red or white.” But you know who’s with me on … Continue reading
It’s New York versus San Fran in the NFC Championship this weekend and we’ve got a winner already on grapefriend! We’re talking about New york Freaking Cuvees! San Francisco thinks it’s soooo cool with its Napa and Sonoma and 49 other overpriced wine places. But New York is making some damn good grape plays. My … Continue reading
The year is starting off well for the Giants, the NFC East divisional champs after last night’s win over the Cowboys. And many of those wins are thanks to one Victor Cruz, the adorbale, salsa-dancing touchdowner who made a KILLER 74-yard TD last night. That was after last week’s 99-yard touchdown that set a Giants … Continue reading
As a Giants fan, it’s been a painful football season for grapefriend. The reason, however, isn’t because of last night’s painful loss to the Packers or because they’re not killing it in their division (we’re actually doing ok, even if we’re not a lock by far for the playoffs). The reason is because we don’t … Continue reading
