The royal baby might be ready for a bottle with a plastic tip, but everyone else is getting out quite a different kind of bottle. If they have any wine left over from Harry and Meghan’s wedding, then maybe they’ll pop open one of these to celebrate the latest wee royal! Champagne: One of the … Continue reading
I worked at MTV for many years and totally miss being involved in the production of the show. But now I get to sit back with a glass and watch it all go down without working! Wooooot. Here are this year’s nominees for Video of the Year along with what you should drink for each … Continue reading
When Obama got to Japan, Emperor Akihito told him, “You have a very hard job.” Then he took him to dinner at the Jiro Dreams of Sushi place and also poured him some really, really awesome wine at the state dinner last night.

Finally! After two dry weeks, we are back on grapey track. Since this is so exciting, let’s get right to it. Once again, we have Megan to thank.

Remember the movie Bottle Shock a few years ago? This is the wine that was in it, and has a big role in the history of wine in this country. Most people hear Chardonnay and think big and oaky – which is what most California Chardonnay is at this point. But that’s not how it … Continue reading
It makes sense that Marie is my new hero, since she gave birth to Megan, the Official Mad Men Grapefriend. She may have just usurped the title though.
