christmas (and non-christmas) wines

Posted on December 15, 2020 by grapefriend • 2 Comments

On the Eve, we always do the Feast of the Seven Fishes. A few of the fish choices vary, but the star is always lobster and an octopus salad with lemon, green olives, and celery. You can go a couple ways with lobster, but we’ve always done white Burgundy which has a light touch on the fruit … Continue reading →

Rihanna posted this photo on Twitter the other day. If you really know, then you know! On my O. Pope shit! pic.twitter.com/lwdRAgBUFt — Rihanna (@rihanna) October 13, 2014 It’s true: if you know, you know. Riri knows. I know. And my dad knows too, though he didn’t a mere three months ago. I got him … Continue reading →

downton abbey’s getting its own wine line

Posted on June 25, 2013 by grapefriend • 2 Comments

Even though a ton of wines are served at any Downton dinner, “they don’t drink much of any of it” as Anna (horrifyingly) notes. Nonetheless, Wines That Rock is making a Downton Abbey wine line with Dulong Grands Vins de Bordeaux. Two blends, a Bordeaux Claret and a Bordeaux Blanc, will be reminiscent of the Bordeaux wines imported … Continue reading →

For the second year in a row (which is only as long as I’ve been keeping track, could be more), Estancia was poured at the WHCD.

The scariest wine is probably barfy flavorless Pinot Grigio, but in the spirit of Halloween let’s get a little spookier. Here are great wines to serve at or bring to any Halloween party, or just to drink at home alone Sandy-style (i.e. if you’re still without power). talbott pinot noir, sleepy hollow vineyard It’s rare … Continue reading →

So this promo just came out for the TBS debut of Cougar Town in January. These guys seem like they’d be actually fun to hang out with. Even if they weren’t, I’d get to have some pretty good wine as evidenced by the two wines in this promo. The two wines they’re drinking are Faust … Continue reading →

Tanglewood really is a grapefriend paradise! Everyone comes with wine for their picnics, pouring it out on the lawn and then under the stars once the sun sets. People even came over and asked to borrow our corkscrew – it’s so grapefriendly there! As you saw yesterday, we had some Cliff Lede Sauvignon Blanc – … 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 →
