Lots of gifts are given to the president. I mean hell, I get gifts and I’m just grapefriend so you can surmise that the leader of the free world gets some killer swag. Let’s just concentrate on the wine-related ones though, and see which country is the biggest grapefriend: portugal Professor Anıbal Cavaco Silva, president of Portugal: W&J … Continue reading
“I love rosé Champagne, especially Billecart-Salmon. A bottle of that with a tin of caviar – how can you go wrong?” You didn’t need another reason to love Connie Britton, but now you have one. Thanks, Bon Appetit. I hate coupes (those big, flat glasses) – you spill way too much. Flutes are very pretty but … Continue reading

They show this kind of cheesy pic of the goblets: And they go, “Damn son, those goblets are so … Continue reading
Based on the bubble-filled promo pics, we’d expect nothing less. At last night’s Gatsby premeire, people drank a lot of bubbly. Champagne? Oh no, they got some Ferrari Metodo Classico. I actually put this in my Cosmo bubbly story (check it here) and thought I told you guys about it but I never did. It’s … Continue reading
So prior to the MLK assassination plotline, we were at the advertising awards thingy and Megan was packin’. She sipped her Champagne (which, as a reminder, does not count in the wine count), but after that there was very little drinking – of grapes or even cocktails.
