Today is International Whisk(e)y Day, one of those made-up holidays that celebrate a certain type of alcohol. I’m all for it, of course. You can learn about all the different types of whiskey (or whisky — learn why in the post) here, but since Mardi Gras wasn’t allowed to happen this year because of Covid I’m … Continue reading
Ohhh I just love Southern Charm and the next season’s back on Bravo tonight! Pour yourself a glass of Gentry Bourbon, $53.99 here. It’s made by JD and of course our beloved but aimless Craig couldn’t manage to hold a job there for more than a season. Then click around on the site and wonder if … Continue reading
Who cares if the race itself only lasts two minutes? The hours before (and after) are even more fun because they’re julep-filled. Mint juleps are delicious and so pretty, traditionally served out of these awesome silver cups (I use them for flowers afterwards). They’re really easy to make too: Muddle 1/2 an ounce of simple … Continue reading
Giving anything but grapes would just be completely un-grapefriendy or friend-y at all pretty much. So here’s my rundown of some great and fun bottles to give to all types of people in your life! token cheer Ah, the perennial holiday must: the token gift as a small but happy thanks to all sorts of … Continue reading

She’s a slightly annoying model (“a thumping bore” as Holly describes her) who crashes Holly’s awesome party and calls out through her stutter for a boy to bring her a bourbon. It may be her one redeeming quality. Bourbon drinking … Continue reading

I’m obsessed – started off with bourbon, ventured into scotch, and just discovered Japanese whisky which is amazing too. Since we’ve got a few more winter weeks ahead … Continue reading
Some nights during the winter I should be called Cornfriend, because when it’s fa-reezing out there’s nothing better than the brown stuff. The other night was one of those thaw-me nights, so I got some Woodford Reserve bourbon. I like both my drink and my tables reserved. When it gets really freezing out (like 0 … Continue reading
Just a little Friday fun. I love the “DESERT – THIRSTY” part! So where would you most want to live based on imbibing? Grapefriend would clearly have to reside in Europe. Continue reading
Love bourbon, so any good cocktail made with it usually makes me happy. This one’s delicious and a little sweet – though not overly so – due to said bourbon and some maple syrup. Such a pretty party for the launch last night! Town and Country yummy cocktail and gorge party @tandcmag vine.co/v/b3LP0WO9bqg — grapefriend … Continue reading
